Updating the STUDYVERSION tag

The STUDYVERSION tag identifies the version of the formsets (and the versions of the forms they contain) that comprise a version of the trial. The version is identified by a unique VERSIONDESCRIPTION key.

Note that the InForm application automatically keeps track of form and formset versions as you modify them. However, these modifications do not become part of a study version until you load a new definition of the STUDYVERSION tag. When the InForm application loads trial definition data for the new study version, it takes a snapshot of the latest versions of the forms and incorporates them into the new study version.

Thus, to update a STUDYVERSION tag:

  1. Review the forms and formsets to make sure they contain the latest information.
  2. Display the STUDYVERSION you want to update in an editor. The syntax of the tag is shown below.

    <STUDYVERSION
    STUDYNAME="name"
    VERSIONDESCRIPTION="text"
    [PROTOCOL="name"]
    [SPONSORDATE="date"]
    [TRADEDRUGNAME="name"]
    [GENERICDRUGNAME="name"]
    [SPONSORDRUGNAME="name"]>
    <FORMSET+ attributes/>
    </STUDYVERSION>

  3. Assign a new VERSIONDESCRIPTION to the trial. It must be a string which uniquely identifies this version. You may want to incorporate the date of the version into the string.
  4. Review the list of FORMSET attributes. Make any additions or deletions required, as described in Creating new form versions.
  5. Close the STUDYVERSION tag.
