DATATRAK ONE® 13.3.1– July 22, 2015
For v13.3.1, we have a total of twenty-two (22) updates including enhancement, maintenance, and correction items outlined below.
Enhancements
For 13.3.1, we have included the four (4) enhancements outlined below:
Auto-tabbing [Ticket 62040|UX Trial Design|Data Entry & Cleaning]
In the Data Architect file, you can now configure automatic tabbing for text and multi-line text fields on a form. On the Question Types-Definition tab, a new column labeled Auto Tabbing allows you to set auto tabbing to true or false for each question field in a form tied to the value in the Max Length column. If set to true, once the max character length in a field is met the cursor automatically advances to the next field. If set to false, auto tabbing is not enabled for that specific field and you can navigate with a mouse click or using the Tab button.
The auto tabbing enhancement only works for the initial form entries when the form has blank answer status. Once you save the form, use a mouse click or select the Tab button to move from field to field to make any changes or corrections. Note: Once you publish or commit the next version of the Data Architect in Trial Manager, you will see the new Auto Tabbing property for each question in View Changes.
Tab Ordering [Ticket 62041|UX Trial Design|Data Entry & Cleaning]
In the Data Architect file, you can now specify a unique tab order for all fields on a form. On the Display tab, a new column labeled Tab Order allows you to add values that establish the sequence of tabbing from one field to the next.
You do not need to enter values that are strictly sequential. You can specify any order and only the relationship between the values determines the tab movement across the form. The ordering can be numeric or alphanumeric. In the case of numeric ordering, all Tab Order values need to be consistently numeric. In general, the system follows an ‘expected order’ for the values without the need for leading zeros for numerical comparison. For example, the following three orders are equivalent:
- C|A|B
- X|D|K
- 111|88|99
If you do not specify an order for all fields on a form, the fields without an order will be accessed (tabbed to) after the fields with a specified order. In practice, you should specify the tab order for all the fields (or none) within a given form. Note: Once you publish or commit the next version of the Data Architect in Trial Manager, you will see the new Tab Order property for each question in View Changes.
Tabular Views [Ticket 62042|UX EDC & Medical Coding|Data Entry & Cleaning]
In the Data Architect file on the App Properties tab, you can now configure a new simplified tabular layout option for data entry that loads more rapidly and uses the space on the page more efficiently.
The screen width remains static with simple mode. Therefore, if you are going to create a table with a significant number of columns (10 or more), simple mode may cause the columns to run off the page.
Form Preprocessing [Ticket 62166|UX EDC & Medical Coding|Data Entry & Cleaning]
In the Data Architect file on the App Properties tab, you can now configure the system to delay form preprocessing until you save the form. Preprocessing consists of the firing of alerts including required and optional reason for override, format alerts, ‘requires correction’ alerts, ‘triggered by’ scripts, regular and custom dependencies, visibility logic, assignments, script assignments, and local lab ranges and units. The new application property (PreprocessOnSave) provides for rapid data entry or batch processing of data entry. The values are true or false (default=false) and consists of the following entries with definitions.
Maintenance
For v13.3.1, we have included the two (2) maintenance items outlined below:
Servlets [Ticket 122595|DATATRAK ONE|Systems]
A small number of actions now process in parallel instead of waiting for other requests to complete.
Properties Files [Ticket 127130|DATATRAK ONE|Systems]
We have created properties files to support new Cloud staging servers.
Corrections
For v13.3.1, we have included the sixteen (16) correction items outlined below:
Unified UI Update [Ticket 40408|DATATRAK ONE|Enterprise Manager]
The Select Organization page is now updated for the Unified interface.
Query Update [Ticket 40434|UX EDC & Medical Coding|Data Entry & Cleaning]

Date/Time Comparisons [Ticket 40825|UX EDC & Medical Coding |Data Entry & Cleaning]
With corrections to the DateDiff command, the system now handles the (00:00) case properly.
Scroll Bar Update [Ticket 56840|UX EDC & Medical Coding |Data Entry & Cleaning]
The system now only displays scroll bars in tabular views when needed.
Roles Tab Decompile [Ticket 57054|UX Trial Design|Trial Manager]
As part of the Roles tab compilation, the decompiled file now correctly contains all permissions and actions assigned to the trial.
Search Function [Ticket 58076|DATATRAK ONE|Enterprise Manager]
The search workgroup function now properly expands the navigation tree.
Time Formats [Ticket 61262|UX EDC & Medical Coding|Data Entry & Cleaning]
Invalid entries in a time field are no longer automatically corrected.
Assignment Scripts [Ticket 61439|UX Trial Design|Data Entry & Cleaning]
Date assignments now use an English date format regardless of the language of the user saving the form.
Data Type Flags [Ticket 61444|UX EDC & Medical Coding|Standard Reports]
The Trial Summary and Alert Statistics reports now take into account all missing data type flags for each alert.
Default Question [Ticket 61446|UX Trial Design|Scripts]
The Is-Set command properly returns false in all cases when the target question does not exist.
Date Column Sorting [Ticket 61447|UX EDC & Medical Coding|Ad-Hoc Reports]
Date columns now sort properly.
PDF Export [Ticket 122549|UX EDC & Medical Coding|Exports]
The PDF Archival properly exports even with inconsistent property values for alerts and queries.
Equal and NotEqual Commands [Ticket 122598|UX Trial Design|Scripts]
We have updated the comparison method to address inequality in scale when comparing values.
Divide Command [Ticket 127132|UX Trial Design|Scripts]
We increased the scale of the divide command to return 17 decimal places.
Retired Attributes [Ticket 131116|UX Trial Design|Data Entry & Cleaning]
As a result of the improved automatic layout of the tabular view, we have retired the properties colWidth, width and TableColumnWidth for the Unified UI.
Role Selection [Ticket 133479|UX EDC & Medical Coding|Data Entry & Cleaning]
The Unified UI Role Combination functionality now more accurately reflects multi-role data access configurations.
DATATRAK ONE® 13.3.0– May 31, 2015
For v13.3.0, we have a total of twenty-five (25) updates including enhancement, maintenance, and correction items outlined below.
Enhancements
For 13.3.0, we have included the thirteen (13) enhancements outlined below:
Enabling/Disabling Questions [Ticket 44697|UX Trial Design|Mid-Study Change Utilities]
In the Data Architect file, you can now specify enabled and disabled questions for the display and a new Update Question Display utility allows you implement those changes mid-study. If a question is no longer valid, you can remove it from a trial with the Display.Active configuration set to (false) and, if needed, add it back in at a later date. By default the configuration is set to (true).
The Display Utility also reconciles any associated metadata. To designate a role with the ability to run the display utility, assign permissions in the Data Architect file on the Roles tab.
With permissions in place, the Actions tab on your study home page will contain an Update Question Display menu option that launches a confirmation page.
Click the Continue button to initiate a new update, then click the Run button on the following page to start the conversion. After selecting the Run button, you will automatically return to your study home page while the utility executes. Check on the execution status by linking back to the utility through the Actions tab to view the progress bar. Once complete, you can review a summary of the conversion results by linking to the View previous results on the Confirmation page.
Edit Reason for Override [Ticket 50300|UX EDC & Medical Coding |Data Entry & Cleaning]
You now have the ability to edit alert entries using a Reason for Override dialog that you can access from two different locations: Alerts Manager and Form alerts. Find the correct permissions in the Data Architect file on the Roles tab. With either permission the system displays the audit icon whether or not you have an existing audit entry. However, only with editViolation can you update existing entries once in the dialog.
In the Alerts Manager at both Cross Study Managers and study levels, the table has a new column titled Audits containing an audit icon. Additionally, each question on a Form (eCRF) now has an audit icon displayed in the body of the alert followed by a Reason for Override: explanation field.
Regardless of how you access the Reason for Override dialog, it contains two text fields for entries with an Audits table recording the history of that alert for the specific subject record.The updates are listed chronologically, with the most recent entry at the top of the tablular listing. Note that the only required field in the dialog is Reason for Change. If you make a change to the Reason for Override text field (remove entry, etc.), you are required to outline why you made the override text field change in the Reason for Change text field.
Selecting the Edit button closes the dialog and updates the table with your new entries. Optionally, you can select the Close button to close the dialog without making any changes or updates.
Answer Status/Auto Complete [Ticket 58381|UX EDC & Medical Coding|Data Entry & Cleaning]
Upon saving a form at the single study level, you now have the option to set the Answer Status progress bar to automatically update to Completed. Instead of having to perform the step manually, a new property in the Data Architect file allows you to skip the In Progress step. Configure this new feature in the Data Architect file on the App Properties tab.
You no longer need to select the Choose and Action menu – Press Go! to mark a form complete, it is automatic once you save your changes. Note that the default configuration is (false), but upon saving the enableCompleteStatus property to (true) and reconciling a trial:
- Forms save to Complete regardless of whether or not every field contains a value
- Option applies to all the Answer Status forms across the study
- Existing forms or questions already In Progress will need Reconcile to be run to be automatically set to Complete
Important: Unlock any forms or questions that are In Progress prior to running reconcile with this feature enabled, to apply the Complete status properly.
Managing Courses [Ticket 61193|UX Training|Enterprise Manager]
On the Manage Courses screen, the Active Status: field for the course listing now defaults to the Active option. The field lists all available courses with a status of Active, not every possible course regardless of availability.
Preprocess Scripts [Ticket 61194|UX EDC & Medical Coding|Scripts]
To make the conversion of studies from the Classic user interface to the Unified interface easier, we are converting most before scripts to preprocess. The scripts will be converted automatically once your configured application loads into the Unified system.
Properties Update [Ticket 61196|UX EDC & Medical Coding|Data Architect]
The Edit Restrictions properties that currently exist in the Classic user interface allow you to control who can edit an individual question in the system, on a per question basis. We are automatically updating the Unified user interface with the same restriction to make sure that the ability to perform these edits is carried forward and consistent across both systems based on the Classic user interface settings. The properties update will apply for each study automatically converted from Classic to Unified.
Assigning Course Equivalencies [Ticket 61198|UX Training|Training]
In the Enterprise Manager, we can now assign course equivalencies at the course level from either the Create Course or Edit Course screens. The system now tracks which new courses are equal to all modules. The goal is to make sure that users of the system do not lose their study access based on any newly defined pre-requisites for courses already taken.
Equivalency Column [Ticket 61199|UX Training|Training]
On the Manage Courses screen in the Enterprise Manager, a new Equivalency column displays an icon that indicates equivalent courses exist for a course in the list. Clicking the icon launches a Course Equivalency dialog that displays the equivalent courses.
During the transition from the Classic to the Unified interface, as course pre-requisites are combined and/or updated, the Equivalency column and dialog provides a way to track which new courses are equal to past modules.
Batch Export of Certificates [Ticket 61200|UX Training|Training]
On the Manage Registrations screen and on each course details page, we can now batch export training certificates in PDF format. Previously, especially in the case of several hundred certificates, it was time consuming to export multiple certificates individually. Now, you can export certificates from 1 up to 100 at a time in two different ways:
- For one or more users in different courses
- For one or more users in the same course
For one or more users in different courses
On the Manage Registrations screen, you now have a Download Certificates tab:
- Click one or more checkboxes next to the desired user registrations from the table
- Select the Download Certificates tab
A dialog prompts you to save or open the zip file containing your certificates.
For one or more users in the same course
On the Manage Courses screen, select a course name from the table to display the corresponding course details page. At the top of the details page, you now have a Download Certificates tab:
- Click one or more checkboxes next to the desired Registration from the table
- Select the Download Certificates tab
A dialog prompts you to save or open the zip file containing your certificates. In both cases, the system generates a zip file containing training certificates in PDF format for each of your registration selections with the naming convention (username.coursename). The .zip file default naming convention is a time stamp detailing [year >> milliseconds]:
- yyyyMMddHHmmssSSS.zip
You need to select at least one (1) registration to start the download process or the system displays a No Item Selected prompt.
Prerequisites Status Report
On the Prerequisites screen at the trial and enterprise level, the system now allows you to generate a report in Excel format to track the status of any user’s pre-requisite level of training. Select an active prerequisites option for a given trial in the Prerequisites column:
On the Prerequisites screen, you now have an Export User Status tab:
- Click a checkbox next to the desired entry from the Manage Prerequisites table
- Hover over the Export User Status tab, to display the dropdown menu options
- Select either All, In Progress, Not Started, or Completed from the menu
A dialog prompts you to save or open a zip file containing your Excel worksheet with the training information. The Excel worksheet inside the zip file is labeled export.xlsx.
The worksheet contains basic user information, completion status and site information. Also, whether or not the user fulfilled the prerequisite by completing the prerequisite course or an equivalent course. The .zip file default naming convention is a time stamp detailing [year >> milliseconds]:
- yyyyMMddHHmmssSSS.zip
Refreshing Metadata Counts [Ticket 61202|UX EDC & Medical Coding|Mgmt Servlet]
To ensure count accuracy as we automatically convert Classic user interface studies to the Unified interface, an internal system utility will recalculate the metadata counts for all the converted studies without impacting status. Formerly, we did not track counts as part of the Classic user interface, now the Unified system displays counts in casebook progress bars and managers.
Persistent Alerts [Ticket 61236|UX EDC & Medical Coding|Data Entry & Cleaning]
Changes have been made to ensure that alerts will be displayed in cases regardless of how they were processed in the Classic User Interface. This is an adjustment to ensure that all alerts work properly with the Unified User Interface preprocessing.
Email Templates [Ticket 62097|All Products|Enterprise Manager]
On the Manage Email Template screen, we can now define language specific templates and send access emails using the users preferred language.
Maintenance
For 13.3.0, we have included the four (4) maintenance items outlined below:
Subject Identifier Update [Ticket 40904|UX Trial Design|Scripts]
Together with an assign command, you can now run a script to update the primary and secondary Subject Identifiers from any form or question in the casebook. You no longer need to run an update names utility or conduct a reconcile process to find inconsistencies with the subject identifiers when the targets of the script do not share the same form. The new command populates changes to the subject identifiers comprehensively across the study.
Schedule Manager Performance [Ticket 61188|UX RTSM|Randomization]
For a study with a large number of sites, we have improved the filter option for Treatment Type in Schedule Manager to speed up performance. The system now pulls all treatment type information directly from each configuration within a site and adds the type to the list of options for that study.
Dependency Network Update [Ticket 61460|UX EDC & Medical Coding|Data Entry & Cleaning]
We have updated the structure of the internal dependency network to operate more efficiently.
