Identification of other form parameters
The identification of other parameters on the form can be found in the data export to XLSX. An example of some parameters is shown in the image.
Before granting parameter a number, it is necessary to insert the form ID with an underscore in which the parameter is located. The form ID can be obtained by selecting Study - Study details from the menu, choosing the relevant study, go to the CRF templates tab, and then editing the form that contains the parameter. The form number can be found at the end of the URL address, for example, https://clindata.imtm.cz/formDesigner/open?idForm=1697. An example for parameter number for import is form1697_param10101.
For categorical parameters, the imported text value must exactly match the displayed text on the form.
