Saving by component
When you save by component, the InForm Architect application generates the following XML files for components that are used in the active trial and saves them in the directory that you specify:
- One XML file for each event.
- One XML file for each form.
- One XML file for each rule along with its attachment definitions.
- One XML file for the trial definition.
- A response file, named StudyByComponent.rsp, that loads each form, event, and rule definition, along with the trial definition.
This method of saving trial components creates files that enable you to review the generated trial component XML in context. You may find this method to be the most convenient during the process of creating trial definition component definitions. To save by component:
- Select File > Save Trial > Save by Component. Alternatively, click the arrow next to the Save All button on the Main toolbar, and then choose Save By Component from the pulldown menu.
- In the Specify the Trial Directory dialog box, specify the root directory in which to save the XML files.
- Click OK.
