Report package association

Each report is associated with the package (either the Oracle InForm Trial Management package or a study-specific package) that was used to create it.

When you copy reports using the Oracle InForm Report Folder Maintenance utility, you can specify the package name to be used, if necessary. A report that you have copied to a new location must be associated with the package that will be used by the study or sponsor who works with the report.

For reports that you created with the Oracle InForm Trial Management package:

  • Multiple studies, single sponsor—You are not required to specify a new package name; the Oracle InForm Trial Management package is installed with every study.
  • Multiple studies, multiple sponsors—Each sponsor should provide an instance of the Oracle InForm Trial Management package; therefore, you may need to specify a new package name for the copied reports in the target location.

For reports that you created with the study-specific clinical package, you must always specify a new package name for the copied reports in the target location.
