Customized Pre-Populated Subject IDs

Dear All,
I would like to have customized subject IDs that are automated by OpenClinica when sites add new subjects.
I am running a multi-center trial, where I want the Subject ID to indicate the site.
For Example, when Site XX enters a new subject, I want the ID to look something like: XX01 indicating Site XX and First patient at Site XX.

Is this possible?

I am a non-technical user of the OC community edition v. 3.14

Thank you so much.

Kind regards,

Silke.

    Hi Silke -

    There may be a way of enforcing a naming convention like this in 3.14, using Javascript. If there is, one of the technical users here would almost certainly know it and can pass along their recommendation.

    Our cloud-hosted version, OC4, supports this capability: http://blog.openclinica.com/2018/09/14/configurable-roles-participant-limits-and-more-now-part-of-oc4/

    Dear Bryan,
    thanks so much for the info. I am using the open source OpenClinica, thus any recommendations would be very helpful.

    Thanks again,

    Silke.

    Hello Silke,

    there is a webservice for adding subjects to a site. (see https://docs.openclinica.com/3.1/technical-documents/openclinica-web-services-guide/studysubject-web-service )

    We developed a simple webapp called Subject-ID Generator using Grails.

    If a user registers a new proband he has to select the appropriate site. The webapp the generates the next Subject-ID with a site specific prefix.
    prefixes can be configured for each site.

    Our implementation needs RO-Access to the OC-DB due to the fact we need to pull user rights, user auth and some study parameters from OC-DB

    Best,
    Florian

    Hi Florian,

    Thanks so much. Your info is helpful.
    I have to first install the web service. Is there any guidance on how to do that?

    Thanks again,

    Dear Florian, and All
    I successfully installed the WebService and experimenting with WebApp for Create Study Subject. How do you generate prefixes for each subject?

    Thanks so much for your help.
