New Features and Improvements

15975: Addition of Filters to Statistics Reports

Dynamic filter support and the ability to export data were added to the statistics reports: Trial Summary (just export), Form Statistics, Query Statistics, Alert Statistics, and Data Point Report.

15979: Create a Group Management Editor

A dynamic status manager was implemented. This allows a user with the “manageDynamicStatus” action permission to user the dynamic status manager to create new types of dynamic statuses.

15980: Ability to Assign Dynamic Status

Added a new command to the drop down menu in the record manager. This command is available when the action permission of “assignDynamicStatus” has been granted to the user. This new command allows a user to select records and choose a dynamic status to assign to them. In addition, if the user has the “assignDADynamicStatus” permission then they are allowed to set dynamic status items that are defined in the DA File. This should allow for a manual “reconcile” of dynamic statuses in the case the a script is written incorrectly or an error occurs.

16132: Addition of Filters to Trial Summary

A record (or subject) filter as well as support for dynamic filters were added to Trial Summary report. The ability to export to Text and Excel was also included.

16213: Add Filter to Exclude Forms without Questions

Added a filter to the Forms Manager that allows users to exclude forms that do not have questions (usually container forms).

16214: Display of all Users in Search Function

A new filter to the Search Users screen allows the user to filter on All, Active or Non-Active users.

16337: Custom PDF Archive Properties

A list of form types that should be excluded from the PDF archive can be specified in the properties of the application or in the parameters for the export. The list is made of single parameters/properties having the prefix ‘pdfIgnoreFormType’ and an index in ascending order starting wither with 0 or 1.

16342: Add Needs SDV Column

Added the ‘Needs SDV’ column to the Data Point Report. Needs SDV includes filled data points or those data points that are answered using the missing data function.

Hyperlinked all possible counts within Trial Summary to the appropriate managers with appropriate filters pre-set.

16345: Ability to Customize Homepage Checklists

Created the ability to setup custom checklists on the user’s home page. Each checklist can be displayed on multiple roles’ home pages. These items have a custom title and will display the count of the number of items in the linked manager with the defined filter set.

16395: Show navigation bar on audit page

Added a new navigation bar for all audit views: form, question, code and synonym.

16396: Add Needs SDV Column to Forms column of Trial Summary

The ‘Needs SDV’ count is added to Form table under Site Summary statistics. The count is added as a link to Forms manager with following filters set: Answer Status to ‘Not Blank’ and Source Doc Verified to ‘No’.

Corrections

15617: Metadata refresh does not update complete status if a question is added

Updated meta data for Answer Status so that meta data will refresh when reconciling. Also added a refresh to the process that adds new questions to forms when viewing them or using updateQuestions.

16084: Excel report titles should show warning when greater than 31 characters

For Excel report titles that are longer than 31 characters, the following warning is now displayed: “Warning Report names longer than 31 characters will be truncated when using Excel output.”

16176: Create new property to specify type of tree used in eCRF

A new column has been added to the in the Data Architect ‘Application Setup’ tab called ‘useNodeTreeForECRF’. The default is ‘no’, or false. This setting affects how the form structure view is presented in the eCRF: the current eClinical Java script expandable/collapse-able tree or the node-based navigation tree utilized in Enterprise Manager.

16197: fix text in “Parameters” section of Differences Report

Removed the ‘:’ from the text for consistency and reduction of internationalization keys.

16238: Add new permissions to templates

Added the following permissions to the dataArchitect template: manageDynamicStatus, assignDynamicStatus and assignDADynamicStatus.

16341: Optimize Data Point Report

Improved performance of the Data Point Report by rewriting the query and count logic.

16410: Translation of Keys

Translation of new keys to Japanese.

16482: When advanced filters are set they should be visible

Enhanced functionality in order to always show a filter if it is set. The only time filters are hidden is if they are not in use and the user has a preference set to hide them.

16508: Add column descriptions to manuals

Updated the EDC Manual to to include a definition of terms for the Form Statistics and Data Point reports.

16509: Create preference for items per page

Items per page on a per user, per page basis are now persistent.

16652: Compiler places From and To attributes on DA export worksheet to wrong place

Added “Deleted Status” filter to Audit Manager and updated the export to reflect this new functionality.
