Study Design Delta report

This report assists study designers in identifying study design configuration differences and verify changes between study versions across modes before moving to Production.

Modes

Available for data in any mode.

Users that can run the report

Note:

If you export Branch, Event, Form or Item details report as .csv file, Row Color and Rank columns are added at the end. These columns contain irrelevant information about how data is displayed and ordered in the UI, so they can be ignored for data analysis purposes.

Study design differences

This table describes the data elements included in the Study Design Differences section.

Data element Description
Comparing Versions Color legend listing the study versions being compared. Includes the following data of each version:
STUDY_ID_NAME
A study ID as specified by the study manager when they created the study, such as a protocol acronym and protocol number
STUDY_DESIGN_STATUS

Indicates the study mode used in the referencing data in a custom report, such as Testing, Approved, or Archived.

Note:

Study versions can also have a Hisory status. A study design reaches this status when the study version is moved from Testing to Apporved. So, for example, if v1.0.0.24 is moved from Testing to Approved container, then it will become v1.1.0.24 and so it will get displayed in UI, having an Approved status. Study design v1.0.0.24 will still exist in the system with History status and it will be the same study design as v1.1.0.24 (Approved) but will not be seen in the Approved container in the UI.

STUDY_VERSION
Indicates the study version number of the referencing data in a custom report
Total Branch Differences Indicates the total number of differences for branches between study versions.
Total Event Differences Indicates the total number of differences for events between study versions.
Total Form Differences Indicates the total number of differences for forms between study versions.
Total Item Differences Indicates the total number of differences for items between study verisons.
