Enroll subject with incomplete form

Yes or No (default). Indicates whether the InForm application permits a subject to be enrolled with incomplete screening or enrollment information, after override authorization.

Require a comment when entering N/A, Unknown, or Not Done

Yes or No (default). Indicates whether the InForm application requires a user to enter a comment when selecting Not Applicable, Unknown, or Not Done on the Comment page instead of filling in a question on a form.

Display Comment Text Boxes

Yes (default) or No. Indicates whether to enable a text box where users can enter a comment for a form or item. If you select Yes for Require a comment when entering N/A, Unknown, or Not Done, you can't select No for FreeCommentTextBox.

If you select No, existing comments appear as read-only text, and the option to select Not Applicable, Unknown, or Not Done in the Reason incomplete field is available only for items without data.

Show Unscheduled

Yes (default) or No. Indicates whether to show the word Unscheduled in the visit title of unscheduled visits.

Post a query for conflict resolution

Yes or No (default). Indicates whether to create a query when, during communication with the Central Coding application, data is found to be entered into a data item by the two different servers.

Number of execution plan listener threads

Number of threads running in the background to process pending execution plans. The default is 4; at least 1 is required for any execution plans to run.

Number of Workflow Update threads

 

Number of threads running in the background to process the workflow update. This value is set during study setup, and typically only needs to be set one time per study. The default value is 2.

Caution: You should not adjust this setting without input from Oracle Global Support. If the performance of your study deployment or study migration is too slow (for example, timeouts happen), contact Oracle Global Support for assistance.

Number of execution plan re-submits

Maximum number of times to retry submission of a failed execution plan before it is logged as an error in the event log and removed from the queue of execution plans to be run. The default is 2.

Enable SSL

On or Off (default). Indicates whether Secure Sockets Layer should be enabled to provide encryption of data. Secure Sockets Layer is an encryption protocol that is provided with the browser software used to run the InForm application.

Note: Before this option can take effect, you must stop and restart the study.

Automatically answer manual queries

On (default) or Off. Indicates whether InForm automatically changes the manual query state when a data item is updated. The audit trail records the query state.

  • If you select On, the manual query is answered or deleted automatically.
    • The query state changes to Answered when a data item is updated.
    • The query state changes to Deleted when a data item has been modified after the manual query was created and as a result the query was deleted.
  • If you select Off, the manual query is not answered or deleted automatically.

Maximum length of query text

Maximum number of characters of query text displayed below an item on a CRF. The default is 350 characters.

Require unique subject initials and date of birth

Study, Site, or None (default). Indicates whether the InForm application requires a unique combination of subject initials and date of birth for a study, a site, or not at all.

Note: If you specify that unique initials and date of birth are not required, and subjects with duplicate initials and date of birth are entered, and later you specify that unique IDs are required, the duplicate information that was entered previously will not be reported.

Subject record transfer consideration: If you plan to allow the transfer of subjects from one site to another, set the UniqueIntIDOBSwitch attribute to require unique initials and DOB across the study. This prevents the following situation:

  • If a study does not require unique initials and date of birth, or only requires site uniqueness, and a user transfers a subject to a site where another subject exists who has the same initials and date of birth, the subject transfer fails.
  • To transfer the subject, the user must change the subject initials to make the combination unique.

Require unique subject ID

Study (default), Site, or None. Indicates whether the InForm application requires a unique subject number for a study, a site, or not at all.

Note: If you specify that a unique subject number is not required and subjects with identical numbers are entered, and later you specify that unique subject numbers are required, the duplicate information that was previously entered will not be reported.

Subject record transfer consideration: If you plan to allow the transfer of a subject from one site to another, set this option to require subject numbers to be unique across the entire study. The InForm application does not allow a subject to be transferred to another site in which a subject exists with the same subject number. If a conflict arises, the InForm application rejects the transfer, and you must manually change the subject number of the transferring subject to a value that is not duplicated at the target site.

Partial SV consideration: If you plan to use partial source verification, set this option to Study or Site.

Allow sponsor users to edit frozen forms

 

Yes or No (default). Indicates whether sponsors will be able to edit a CRF after it has been marked as frozen.

Batch run calculation rule consideration: If you plan to run calculation batch rules on case report books that are unfrozen and unlocked, but that have individually frozen forms, set this option to Yes to prevent errors.

Field

Description

First N Subjects

The number of subjects to source verify in order, based on the time when the subject is assigned the status Enrolled. For example, to indicate that you must source verify the first seven subjects enrolled in a study, specify SVFIRSTNSUBJECTS=7. The default value is defined in Central Designer. This can’t be less than zero (0). If the system does not contain a SVFIRSTNSUBJECTS setting, the default value will be one hundred (100).

Note: This is also a Site property. A user with the Change Site SV Settings right can change the value at Site level. When a new system level First N is applied through deployment, InForm compares the value of each site with the current system value. If the site value equals the system value, the new system value will be applied to the site. Otherwise, the site value will not be changed.

Auto Select Rate

The auto select percentage of the subjects to be included in Partial SV. The default value is defined in Central Designer. The value must be in the range of 0 to 100. If the system does not contain a SVAUTOSELECTRATE setting, the default value will be fifty (50).

Note: The auto select percentage is also a Site property. A user with the Change Site SV Settings right can change the value at the Site level. When a new system level percentage is applied through deployment, InForm compares the value of each site with the current system value. If the site value equals the system value, the new system value will be applied to the site. Otherwise, the site value will not be changed.

Default to include

Indicates whether the default is eligible or excluded from the SV Pool—eligible (1) or exclusion (0). The default value is defined in Central Designer. If the system does not contain a SVDEFAULTINCLUDE setting, the default value will be eligible (1).

Note: The default of whether to include or exclude subjects from the SV Pool is also a Site property. A user with the Change Site SV Settings right can change the value at the Site level. When a new system level percentage is applied through deployment, InForm compares the value of each site with the current system value. If the site value equals the system value, the new system value will be applied to the site. Otherwise, the site value will not be changed.
