The
Study Data Tools web part on the right offers quick links to new charts, participant lists, etc.
Study Navigator
The
Study Navigator displays a grid overview of your study datasets over time, providing a convenient jumping-off point to specific perspectives. Each dataset is listed as a row; each timepoint or visit is listed as a column; the cells indicate how much data is available for each dataset for that particular visit. The navigator gives an overview of whether participants are completing visits and can help confirm that the necessary data is being gathered for the purpose of the study.
- Click the Study Navigator link under the graphic in the overview panel.
- Datasets are shown as rows and timepoints as columns.
View Data at a Timepoint
- Click the link at the intersection of the Physical Exam row and the Month 2 column.
- The resulting data grid shows all physical exams conducted in the second month of participation for each participant. "Month 2" is relative to each participant's enrollment date in the study, so the "Month 2" visits fall on different dates for each person.
