SignCRF

Purpose

Identifies forms that require signature and specifies which signature group a user must belong to in order to be able to sign the CRF.

Syntax

Attributes

SIGNATUREGROUPNAME="name"

RefName of a signature group that contains users who are authorized to sign the form specified in the FORMREFNAME attribute. Required.

FORMREFNAME="name"

RefName of a CRF that must be signed by a user who is a member of the SignatureGroup specified in the SIGNATUREGROUPNAME attribute. Required.

Note: The Screening and Enrollment CRFs are not intended to be signed. Do not include their RefNames in a SignCRF definition.

RESETFORMSTATE="true|false"

Indicates whether associating a new signature group with a CRF that is fully signed resets the state of the CRF to not fully signed. When a CRF is reset, the original signatures remain valid. However, the CRF must now be signed by a member of the newly-associated signature group as well. False is the default. Optional.

INVALIDATIONLEVEL="USER|GROUP"

Specifies whether a signature should be invalidated when a data item is imported after the CRF has been signed, for example, when a coded value is imported with the Central Coding application. The options are:

USER—The CRF or case book signature is invalidated if the user who signed can view the item being imported.
GROUP—The CRF or case book signature is invalidated if at least one user in the signature group can view the item being imported.

If you do not specify the INVALIDATIONLEVEL attribute, the InForm application invalidates the signature whenever the form is edited, either directly or by import. Optional.

FINALCRF="true|false"

Indicates whether signing the form specified in the FORMREFNAME attribute signs entire the case book. False is the default. Optional.

Example

The following example illustrates the use of the SignCRF element to designate the DEM, VS, and SC forms as requiring signature by a member of the CRA Signature group. The FINALCRF attribute indicates that signing the SC form signs the case report book.
