CONTEXT panel item updates
During trial design or when a trial is in production, you may need to change the definition of a CONTEXT panel item. For example, if you autogenerate patient numbers in your InForm trial, you may need to increase the size of the SUBJECT item.
You can change the definition of a CONTEXT panel item by changing its mapping definition in the InForm Architect application. As CONTEXT panel items are appended to all Clintrial data tables, you do not specify a control path; you change only the panel item (CTITEM) definition. Changes must follow the standard rules for changing item definitions:
- The new item definition must have the same TYPE property as the previous item.
- If you change the item size, you must change it to a larger size.
When CIS receives a valid new CONTEXT panel item definition during synchronization, it applies the definition to all panels in the Clintrial protocol.
