Edit automation event

The Study Designer application provides the ability to configure automation events that intend to show forms or visits in EDC for data entry when specific conditions are met. The purpose of automation events is to streamline the assessment process by omitting irrelevant forms or visits based on the respondent's initial response. It helps ensure that the assessment focuses on gathering only pertinent information.

You can create as many automation events as needed after the CRF design phase is completed. These automation events can be updated any time new study requirements or data collection processes are introduced.

To edit an automation event
  1. In the Study Designer application header, select the RULE DESIGN tab.

  2. In the left pane of the page that opens, select Automation Event.
