Create a form with two sections

Forms with two sections must contain one or more questions and a table with repeating questions that are relevant and required for a subject.

Before you begin creating a form with two sections, you must know that:
  • In the Questions Before the Table section of the form, you can include any type of question, except for Label items. This option does not appear on the user interface, in the drop-down with available types of questions.
  • In the Questions in the Table section of the form, you can include any type of question, except for question groups. This option does not appear on the user interface, in the drop-down with available types of questions.

To create a form with two sections:

Note:

Multiple study designers can create or update different forms at the same time. For example, you can edit a form, while at the same time another study designer creates a new form. However, you are not allowed to work on the same form at the same time. If you try to open a form that another study designer is working on, the system displays a message informing you that another user is editing the form at that moment and you can only view the form. For more information, see Can multiple study designers edit a study at the same time?.
  1. Access the Draft version of a study as described in Open a study's design.
  2. Make sure you are on the Data Collection tab.
  3. Click Create Form and select 2 Sections from the drop-down.
  4. In the field located in the upper left corner, enter a name for the form.

    Tip:

    As you create a form, consider documenting the test cases for its questions.
  5. On the right, expand the Details pane and make sure the following settings and fields are configured as expected.
    Field or setting Description

    Reference code field

    Make sure the form has a reference code. A reference code is a one-word abbreviation for the form.

    Repeating Form toggle

    The Repeating Form toggle is turned on, by default.

    Allow Additional Rows toggle

    The Allow Additional Rows toggle is turned on, by default.

    Logo

    Upload an image file to be used as a logo on the form. The following image formats are supported: PNG, JPG, and SVG, with a maximum file size of 30kb.

    Note:

    At this stage, the logo is only visible on the form if you click Preview.
  6. Click Add Question and, depending on what sections of the form you want to update, follow either one of these steps:

    Note:

    The first question in each section is present by default, so we recommend you use those placeholders first. It is required that at least one question exists in both sections.
    Repeat either one of these steps for each question you want to include in every section of the form.
  7. To include a read-only or hidden question that could determine the display of a dynamic visit, you must make sure that the read-only field will be automatically completed either through integration or a custom rule. Work with your study team to properly set up these types of questions.
  8. Click Save or Save & Close.
