Import new study to ClinData via Microsoft Word document.

There is a possibility to import new study including CRF templates via Microsoft Word document (docx) to the ClinData. This page contains the format description of the definition file.

Basically, it is a list with four levels:

1. CRF Template 1 name

   1. Section 1 name

      1. Parameter 1 name {parameter type*)

      2. Parameter 2 name {parameter type}

      3. Parameter 3 name {parameter type}

         1. Category 1

         2. Category 2

      4. Parameter 4 name {parameter type}

   2. Section 2 name

      1. Parameter 5 name {parameter type}

      2. Parameter 6 name {parameter type}

2. CRF Template 2 name

   1. Section 1 name

      1. Parameter 1 name {parameter type*}

where {parameter type} can be one of these types:

• {text} - text input 
• {select} - combo box with predefined categories
• {option} - options with predefined categories
• {option-horiz} - options with predefined categories
• {date} - date input
• {check} - check box
• {number} - whole number input
• {decnumber} - decimal number input
• {label} - text description (no input)
• {file} - input to upload a file
• {line} - line, block separator (no input)

The text of parameter name can contain a formatting based on html tags. For example:

• <b>text</b>  - bold text
• <I>text</i>    - italic text
• 10⁹   - superscript 10^₉

The main goal of the docx import is simplify creating of new study. It doesn't replace the whole process. Some steps (inline groups, formulas, conditional visibility etc.) still must be done in the CRF Designer. 

Here is an example of docx document to download.
