Using page keys and block keys
In the Clintrial Design module, you assign each trial page a page key and block key value when you add it to a trial book and block. Page key and block key values determine how the Clintrial software stores data in records for a panel.
For example, suppose a block has two trial pages that contain page sections using items from the same panel. Each page section has a different page key. When a user enters data into each of these page sections, the Clintrial software stores the data in different database records because the page key of each is different.
When CIS synchronizes data from the InForm application to the Clintrial software, it resolves the information in mapping definitions to Clintrial page keys and block keys by doing one of the following:
- Processing customized page keys and block keys from mapping definitions.
- Generating page keys and block keys from form and visit RefNames.
