Identifying data entry fields in AppBlock Designer

This procedure identifies the data entry fields in the study so they can be configured for subject data edits in IRT.

IRT collects the data entry fields for the study from the AppBlock Designer. The AppBlock Designer is an internal Oracle tool for designing clinical studies. IRT collects study design configuration properties from the AppBlock Designer and displays it in the user interface, where you can configure, view, and add data to the study.

IRT only collects data entry fields. It does not collect calculated fields even if they are based on data entry fields. For example, if BMI is calculated from Height and Weight, IRT can only collect Height and Weight as editable fields, but not BMI.

Best practices for using IRT

  • Identify all data entry fields for the study in the AppBlock Designer so IRT collects all possible data entry fields and makes them available for configuration.

    Later, as the needs of the study mature, you can enable or disable each field in IRT to set up which fields are editable. This way, if the sponsor decides to later make editable a field that was not initially made editable, the field is available from the Configuration page.

An Oracle representative must perform this procedure for each editable field prior to deploying the trial. For more information, see Configuring subject data edits.
