About inserting a visit

At any point in time during the study conduct period you can insert a new visit into the schedule.

The option you choose in the Shown in Timeline field within the Create Visit dialog determines how visits appear in the study. For more information, see Insert a visit.

Guidelines for assigning kits and randomization to an inserted visit

If you ever need to assign kit types to a visit inserted in the schedule with a past date, here are some notes that you need to consider:

  • If a re-randomization has occurred, subjects are assigned kits based on the current treatment arm.
  • Be aware that if kit type titrations are part of the study, the dispensation of kits may generate errors in the application.
