Repeating a section (WITHOUT looking like a table)

lnoorla2

Dear all,

I would like to repeat a whole section of my CRF, but I do not want it to look like a table (which would be the case if I use groups/GRID), because then I would lose the overview (since the section concerns multiple variables).

I know the other option would be to make another (repeatable) event, but I would prefer to keep only one event. Therefore, I wondered if anyone knows whether or not it is possible to repeat a section without the use of groups/GRID, and thus without looking like a table.

Some background information: it concerns a patient database in which patients might have undergone multiple imaging modalities, for example X-rays or MRI scans, so I would like to repeat the section with the imaging modality variables.

Thank you in advance for your response! (Also if you are sure that it is not possible what I want!)

Best regards,

Lotte

Repeating groups and repeating events are the only options to dynamically repeat items that I know. Did you consider to create a different eCRF for each imaging modality in the same event? The CRF completed would give you an immediate overview of scans performed for each patients.

Hi Lotte,

Unfortunately it is not possible to have a repeating group in OpenClinica 3
without it being a grid-style layout. It is possible in OpenClinica 4 using
the form and group's 'appearance' options.
Also, you may want to take a look at the recently released “Common Events”
feature for OC4 that allows you to customize what data you see on the
Subject Details page, which may be of interest:
