Overview
The form designer supports nearly any imaginable form design and layout requirements. In fact, anything that can be done on the web, can be done with StudyTRAX Studytrax forms. This website is designed as a big-picture guide to functionality supporting form development in StudyTRAXStudytrax. Please Flease send any questions or feedback to support ( support@sciencetraxsupport@Studytrax.com).
Form Setup
Engage patients and staff with dynamic, easy to use data entry forms.
- Key Features
- Integrated word-processor for layout design, formatting, etc...
- Variable level validation part of data definition (e.g., age range from X to Y years).
- Broad range of data types and controls
- Categorical variables
- Checkboxes
- PIck lists
- Radio Buttons
- Numeric variables
- Calculated variables
- Date variables with integrated calendar
- Text variables
- Memo fields
- Documents (i.e., ability to upload a document [e.g., MSword file, pdf file, Excel file, etc.] as part of a form).
- Categorical variables
- Automated layouts, formatting and styles (e.g., MS-Word file, pdf file, Excel file, etc.] as part of a form)matrix layout, alternating colors), as well as complete access to form HTML for configuration if needed.
- Extensive data validation and skip-logic routines
- # Dose equivalency scale values
- Time to study events
- Status of events (e.g., data at year 3 not due yet)
- Code study site values
- Randomization codes
- Filters (e.g., query of all those with a 50% or more change in the main study endpoint over time)
- Integrated data consolidate routines (e.g., the first and last blood pressure reading for all subjects, independent of start date)
- # Dose equivalency scale values
- *#
- Integrated data cleaning and scrubbing routines
- Descriptive statistics
- Outlier identification
- More...

- What To Consider
- What dataset layout form design and layout options best facilitate data entry?
- Will subjects enter data? If so, are there any special needs (e.g., one row per subject vs. one row per subject per visit) and data transformations , sound, large fonts, etc.)
- How can the data entry burden be minimized (e.g., recoded variablesvariable defaults, calculated variables, etc.) would best facilitate the analytical plan.?
- What are the planned data queriesdata fields, if any, are required?
- Will there be a paper source? If so, will data be double data entered?
