Attachment |
Allows the user to attach a file to the iCRF to address a specific question/item on the form. The item text will be rendered as a hyperlink. |
|
CheckBox
|
Creates a small check box on screen that simulates the equivalent symbol on a paper form. |
|
CheckBoxGroup |
Creates a group of check boxes for an item that allows the user to select multiple options.
You may include up to 12 checkbox sub-items in a checkbox group.
The CheckBoxGroup item has a stored value for the group. Each sub item in the group also has a stored value. If importing data into a CheckBoxGroup via API, ODM or other file import, you must take into account the CheckBoxGroup value as well as each sub item value. In the example on the right, the Race CheckBoxGroup item has a stored value of 1 because at least one sub item is checked (White). |
|
ComboBox |

In the following example, when the TrialMaster user selects Mevacor in the Drug taken in prior trial field, the drop-down list Prior Trial Name populates with 3 trial names (Mevacor Trial A, Mevacor Trial B, and Mevacor Trial C). The drop-down list populates with different selections, based on the drug taken in a prior trial. In the following example, the TrialMaster user selects No for Did the subject complete the study? In the next field, the user can select the primary reason from a drop-down list that automatically populates. If the user selects Yes, the drop-down list does not populate.
