- Click the Subject Selection tab.
- In the System default SV settings section, enter the following information:
- Enter the following information:
- Number of initial 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).
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 deployment takes place, the Site values in InForm will not necessarily be changed as a result of the deployment. The site values are only updated if they match the current default values. That is, if all Site Values match the Default Values, the Site Values will be changed to the new Default Values that were included in the deployment from Central Designer; however, if any of the Site Values do not match the Default Values, the Site Values will remain as is.
- Subject selection rate after initial subjects—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 one hundred (100).
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.

If you select a rate of 100%, all forms for all subjects at the site with at least one item marked as SV Required must be verified.

Whether subjects should be included in the SV Eligible Pool or the Excluded Subjects pool by default—The SVDEFAULTINCLUDE system setting defines whether to include or exclude all subjects from the SDV pool by default. Make sure that this setting is set to Include (default) or Exclude depending on the default behavior you want.
Note:Set to Include if you are not using rules to determine which subjects should or should not be in SV eligible pool. Otherwise, If you are using rules, you need to decide whether to exclude the subjects prior to those rules triggering so that the only SV eligible subjects based on the rule are included. For more information, see the Central Designer User Guide.
