Approving the randomization schedule

An unblinded user with appropriate permissions must approve the randomization schedule before it is available for the study.

Best practices for using IRT

Before setting up a study, make sure an unblinded user is available to approve the randomization schedule.

  1. Click Study (Study tab (main menu)).
  2. On the left, in the Study Set-Up section, click Randomization Schedule.

    For descriptions of the fields on this page, see Randomization Schedule page.

  3. In the Randomization ID Filter section, enter the values for the approved range in the Minimum and Maximum fields.

    If you do choose a range, the approval applies only to the selected range.

    If you do not choose a range, the approval applies to the entire randomization schedule.

  4. Click Apply Filter.
  5. In the Approve section, read and confirm the electronic signature notice. Below the notice, select the checkbox.
  6. Type your user ID and password.
  7. Click Approve.

Note: If the randomization schedule contains blocks, you must approve the list containing full blocks (that is, you cannot partially approve blocks).
