Unscheduled or repeating visits
An unscheduled visit occurs without a specific schedule in relation to other visits. An unscheduled visit can occur one time or it can be a repeating visit, which occurs as often as required.
Repeating visits can be sets of CRFs used for unscheduled visits or can be monitoring forms such as site visit reports or regulatory documentation checklists.
To define an unscheduled visit, create a visit definition for the visit and specify True as the value of the UNSCHEDULED attribute. If the unscheduled visit repeats multiple times, include as well the specifications for defining a repeating visit.
To define a repeating visit, create a visit definition with the following specifications:
- The value of the REPEATING attribute is True.
- The first form in a repeating visit must not be a common CRF.
- The first form in a repeating visit must contain a Section definition consisting of a single Item containing a DateTimeControl definition that includes the month, day, year, hour, and minute of the visit, of which at least the month and year must be required.
Note: Creating a separate CRF that contains only this DateTimeControl section is recommended.
- The Section, Item, and DateTimeControl definitions must include the following specific required UUIDs:
