    • Demographics (ID = DM), with following variables:
      • Date of Informed Consent

      • Were vital signs performed?
      • Date and time
      • Systolic BP
      • Diastolic BP
        • Add a data check that prevents the form from saving if VSSYS<VSDIA.
      • Temperature (allowing one decimal).
        • Add a data check to control for values between 36.5 and 38.

Don't forget also to add relevant visibility conditions.

14. Create another form:

  • Adverse Event (ID = AE) with the following variables:
    • Sequence number
      • Use eLearning to learn how to add a counter for the sequence number. Hint!StudyEventRepeatKey
    • Description
    • Start date
      • Add an edit check to control for dates before informed consent Hint!EventID.FormID.ItemID
    • Ongoing?
    • End date date
      • Add an edit check for end date to occur after start date
    • SAE?

Remember to also add all relevant visibility conditions.

15. Go to Study workflow, click Edit.

  • Start by adding the start event by clicking Study Start and Add study event
  • Complete the pop-up with info on Study event ID and Event name
  • Add an activity to the event by clicking the green plus icon and set an Activity ID
  • Add a form to the activity by clicking the yellow plus icon and choose the Demographics form in the drop down menu. The screen will now look like the image to the right.
  • Click on Scheduled Events and add a screening visit with ID "E01_SCR" and name "Screening". Add an activity the same way as for the screening event.
    • Add the vital signs form to the activity but prevent the temperature item from appearing at specifically this visit. Hint! Customize Item Visibility.
  • Go to Common Events
    • Add an event for the Adverse Events and which includes the AE form
    • Set the summary format as {AE.AENO} - {AE.AEDESC} - {AE.AESTDAT}
  • Go back to Scheduled Events Add a second Event, "Follow-up" with ID “FUP”)
    • Add pre- and post-dose activities and include the vital signs form in both activities
    • Set the vital signs form in the post-dose activity to repeat 3 times
    • Set the visit to repeat a total of 3 times
    • Set the Short Summary Format as “Follow Up V{StudyEventRepeatKey}
    • Set the visit schedule so that all visits, starting with the Screening visit are 1 week apart from each other.
    • Set all visits to have a +/- 3 day window
  • Go to Roles:
    • Enable the Investigator role
    • Enable the Monitor role
  • Go to Study settings:
    • Selection view settings
      • Map the sex variable to the avatars and the next variable to the Age item
    • Patient ID settings
      • Create a patient ID with a prefix "SCR" followed by the site ID and a four-digit patient sequence number {CountryCode}-{SiteCode}-{SiteSubjectSeqNo}.
  • Go back to the Designer start page and click Validate and correct any errors.
  • Click Publish design.

In Viedoc Admin:

  • Click on Add a site to this study
  • Click Study Design, assign the design on 01 JAN 2019
  • Go to Study crew, invite yourself as an investigator and create a new patient in Viedoc Clinic
  • If you need to make corrections, create a new, fully-customizable version.
    • Publish again on the same date as before: 01 JAN 2019

Extra credit (optional)

In Viedoc Designer go to the latest effective design, create a new, fully-customizable version.

  • Study settings / Alerts
    • Add an alert titled “New Patient”
      • Have the alert send when the informed consent variable has data and the form is saved
      • Send an email to the investigator and monitor roles
      • In the body of the message, include the SubjectKey of the added patient
    • Add activity-dependent labeling within a form.
      • On the VS form, add a static text item with the following text, “Vital Signs post dose must be collected 3 times.”
      • Make this text large, green, and bold.
      • Program a visibility condition for this item so that it only appears on the post-dose activity.
    • Create a Lab form (for use with reference data feature)
      • In a separate group at the top of the form, add a field for collection date
      • For a single lab parameter, create a group with the following items:

          • !inRange(RANGEID, RESULTID)
  • ViedocMe (ePRO) (see instructions related to "subject initiated events" in this lesson - https://help.viedoc.net/c/e311e6/2eae19/en/)
    • Create a form labeled “Dosing Diary” with ID “DD” and containing a Visual Analog Scale item with ID “DDVAS”
    • In study Workflow, create an event that is “Subject Initiated” (instructions in section 2.4 of the above mentioned lesson)
    • Set the Short Summary Format as “Diary Day {StudyEventRepeatKey}
    • Set the visit so that it occurs for 28 days straight, and beginning on the screening visit
    • Create two activities for morning and evening assessments, and add the Dosing Diary form to each activity
    • For each Activity, create a 12-hour window for each assessment.
