Trial Objects window
The Trial Objects window appears by default in the upper left corner of the application window. This window displays all components that have been defined for a specific trial, organized in a tree structure by component type. As you define new trial components, the Trial Objects window is updated, and the new components become available for use throughout the trial. Additionally, the Trial Objects window provides access to the trial administration screens that enable you to set up and maintain user, rights, group, and site definitions.
The Trial Objects window has the following features:
- When you create a new trial or load an existing trial, all trial components are displayed in the Trial Objects window. This repository includes the predefined components common to all trials that are loaded into the database during the base installation as well as any components that you define.
- Each type of trial component is represented by an icon and a tree control that you can expand or contract.
To display all components defined for a component type, click the plus icon (
).
To hide all individual components, click the minus icon (
).
- The components displayed in the Trial Objects window are reusable throughout the trial you are working on.
To add many types of components to the trial structures you are defining, you can drag them from the Trial Objects window onto the appropriate window in the Design Workspace.
- Use the Trial Objects window to open previously or partially defined components in the Design Workspace for editing.
To do this, double-click the component in the Trial Objects window. You can open forms, elements, units, data mappings, rules, events, and execution plans in this way.
- The Admin tree in the Trial Objects window provides access to the administration components you can maintain. When you double-click the Admin node, the User View administration screen opens in a browser view in the Design Workspace, and you can perform administration activities as you would within InForm application.
