Matrix

 

 

Variables are displayed horizontally with the data entry prompt and answer on the same row

Variables are displayed with the answer
below the data entry prompt

Applies to Pick List or Radio Button type variables where the pick list options are displayed above the radio buttons

A horizontal layout is the most common layout

A vertical layout is ideal for use when the
data entry prompts are long

A Matrix layout is ideal for use when most of the form contains Pick List or Radio Button variables with the same pick list options


A User Defined layout requires HTML to create a custom layout.  This option is available to accomodate prior versions of StudyTRAX, however, it should not be used in version 3.0 or greater.  To obtain a custom layout of your form use the Layout tab of the Variable Group Update page.
