Note: Before this option can take effect, you must stop and restart the study.
SVFIRSTNSUBJECTS—The number of subjects to source verify in order, based on the time when the subject is assigned the status Enrolled. For example, to indicate that you must source verify the first seven subjects enrolled in a study, specify SVFIRSTNSUBJECTS=7. The default value is defined in Central Designer. This can’t be less than zero (0). If the system does not contain a SVFIRSTNSUBJECTS setting, the default value will be zero (0).
Note: This is also a Site property. A user with the Change Site SV Settings right can change the value at Site level. When a new system level First N is applied through deployment, InForm compares the value of each site with the current system value. If the three SV setting attributes (SVAUTOSELECTRATE, SVFIRSTNSUBJECTS, and SVDEFAULTINCLUDE) match the current system value, they will all be updated if new values are updated or deployed. If one of the attributes is different than the current system value, none will be updated.
SVAUTOSELECTRATE—The auto select percentage of the subjects to be included in Partial SV. The default value is defined in Central Designer. The value must be in the range of 0 to 100. If the system does not contain a SVAUTOSELECTRATE setting, the default value will be one hundred (100).
Note: The auto select percentage is also a Site property. A user with the Change Site SV Settings right can change the value at the Site level. When a new system level percentage is applied through deployment, InForm compares the value of each site with the current system value. If the three SV setting attributes (SVAUTOSELECTRATE, SVFIRSTNSUBJECTS, and SVDEFAULTINCLUDE) match the current system value, they will all be updated if new values are updated or deployed. If one of the attributes is different than the current system value, none will be updated.
SVDEFAULTINCLUDE—Indicates whether the default is eligible or excluded from the SV Pool—eligible (1) or exclusion (0). The default value is defined in Central Designer. If the system does not contain a SVDEFAULTINCLUDE setting, the default value will be eligible (1).
Note: The default of whether to include or exclude subjects from the SV Pool is also a Site property. A user with the Change Site SV Settings right can change the value at the Site level. When a new system level percentage is applied through deployment, InForm compares the value of each site with the current system value. If the site value equals the system value, the new system value will be applied to the site. Otherwise, the site value will not be changed.
TrialDateFormat—"Month_Day_Year", "Day_Month_Year" or "Year_Month_Day", indicating the format in which you want the date to appear in the trial. The default is Month_Day_Year.
TrialOrgID—Company identifier for the associated with the study.
Note: Reserved for Oracle-hosted studies in a single sign-on environment.
UNC_DownloadDirectory—Full path name of the physical InForm server directory used to download data listings with the Listings button. Read only.
UniqueIntlDOBSwtch—Study, site or none, indicating whether the InForm application requires a unique combination of subject initials and date of birth for a study, a site, or not at all:
- 0 (default)—Initials and DOB combination is not required to be unique.
- 1—Initials and DOB combination must be unique within a site.
- 2—Initials and DOB combination must be unique within a study.
Note: If you specify that unique initials and date of birth is not required and subjects with duplicate initials and date of birth are entered and then you specify that unique IDs are required, the previously entered duplicate information will not be reported. If you plan to allow the transfer of subjects from one site to another, be aware that if a user transfers a subject to a site where another subject exists with the same initials and date of birth, and the study does not require unique initials and date of birth or only requires site uniqueness, the subject transfer fails. The user must change the subject initials to make the combination unique.

To prevent this situation, set the UniqueIntIDOBSwitch attribute to require unique initials and DOB across the study.
UniquePatIDSwtch—Study, site, or none, indicating whether the InForm application requires a unique subject ID for a study, a site or not at all:
- 0—Subject ID is not required to be unique.
- 1—Subject ID must be unique within a site.
- 2 (default)—Subject ID must be unique within a study.
Notes:

If you are using the Data Viewer in the InForm application, you must configure your system to require unique subject IDs within each site or each study.

If you specify that unique initials and date of birth is not required and subjects with duplicate initials and date of birth are entered and then you specify that unique IDs are required, the previously entered duplicate information will not be reported. If you plan to allow the transfer of subjects from one site to another, be aware that if a user transfers a subject to a site where another subject exists with the same initials and date of birth, and the study does not require unique initials and date of birth or only requires site uniqueness, the subject transfer fails. The user must change the subject initials to make the combination unique.

To prevent this situation, set the UniqueIntIDOBSwitch attribute to require unique initials and DOB across the study.
UserNameOrder—F,L or L,F, indicating the order in which the user's given and surnames are presented in a signature affidavit. The default is the user name order specified for the study on the System Configuration page. The order specified for the site overrides the order specified for the study.
ViewCRFSignList—1 (yes) or 0 (no), indicating whether a list of required signatures should appear on each CRF for which a signature is required. The default is 1. Read only.
Virtual_DownloadDirectory—Full path name of the InForm server virtual directory used to download data listings with the Listings button. Read only.
VISITCALCULATORENABLED—1 (yes) or 0 (no), indicating whether to enable the visit calculator for a subject after the subject is enrolled. The default is 0.

Note: You can set the Server Friendly Name parameter, which provides a user-friendly server name to be displayed on Query Details and Signing Details screens, only through the Admin user interface of the InForm application. There is no equivalent MedML variable.

TYPE="0"

0 is the only value currently accepted. Required.

VALUE="n"

Value to assign to the configuration variable. Required.
