How To Add Field Data Questions to a Protocol Step

Guide to Adding Field Data Questions to a Protocol Step

Field Data are the additional questions to be asked during a protocol step. They help to inform the overall trial and provide additional context and insight.

1. Navigate to the Protocol Field Data section of Project Management 

   • From the Admin tab, select Protocol Field Data from the left pane.
     
     

2. Select Your Trial

   • Choose the correct Trial from the drop-down box, as well as the correct Protocol.
     
     

3. Select Your Protocol
   • Choose the correct Protocol from the dropdown menu.

   • Once you select the Protocol, all of your Protocol steps will be displayed.
     
     

4. Expand the Protocol Step

   • Click on the Protocol Step where you would like to add additional questions.
     
     

5. Create a Section
   • If you have several questions that are related, you can group them in a section. If you do not need your questions organized in groups, they will automatically be placed in the General section.

   • Click the Create Section button to build a section for your questions to be grouped under.
     
     

   • Enter a Label for the Section and a Description.

   • Choose the Products the Section applies to. If you choose only one Product, the questions in this section will only apply to that Product on the Protocol.
     
     

   • Click the Save button.
