Enter a description of this version of the case report form (CRF) here. It must be between 1 and 3999 characters long.
Enter revision notes for this version of the case report form (CRF) here. The revision notes must be between 1 and 255 characters long.
Enter a label for each section of the CRF. It must be between 1 and 255 characters long, and can have spaces. Each section must have a valid section_label, and the CRF must have at least one section. Each item in the CRF must be assigned to a section.
Enter a name for each section of your case report form (CRF) here. It must be between 1 and 2000 characters long. This is a required field.
Enter a subtitle and/or header text that should be shown at the top of the section. It must be between 1 and 2000 characters long. This field is optional.
In addition to a subtitle for the section, you may add instructions to show at the top of the section. The instructions must be between 1 and 2000 characters long. This field is optional.
Enter the page number on which the section begins. If you are using paper source documents and have a multi-page CRF, you may put in the printed page number. May be letters or numbers, 1 to 5 characters long. This field is optional.
You may create sub-sections in OpenClinica CRFs by naming a parent section. To do so, enter the section_label of the parent section that this section is a part of. The value must be a valid section_label from this document. This field is optional.
If set to 1, borders (aka gridlines) will be turned on for all items in this section. If 0 or blank, no borders around items will be generated (note: even when borders are off OpenClinica will still generate borders to delineate header information and major components of the form).
This is the name of the group and must be between 1 and 255 characters long. This is only a required field for grouped items. Ungrouped items should be left blank.
In a horizontal table, the header name that will appear in bold at the top of a column. If left blank, nothing will be in its place.
When the CRF is generated, grouped items will display as a row within a table. The repeat number is the number of instances the row will repeat when initially generated. If left blank, it is assumed the initial repetition is 1.
Specify the maximum number of times the group can repeat. If left blank, it is assumed that the rows can repeat indefinitely.
Enter the Item Name. This is the unique label or variable name for this data element and should be letters and numbers and no spaces. It should be 1 to 255 characters long. This field is required and must be unique within the spreadsheet.

Enter the text that should appear to the left of the input on the CRF data entry form. This may be similar to the Description_Label, but phrased in the context of asking a question on the form. It should be 1 to 2000 characters long. This is a required field.
Enter the units that the value of this data element should be captured in. The units will appear to the right of the input field on the data entry form. It should be 1 to 64 characters long. It is not required.
Enter the text that should appear to the right of the input (after units) on the CRF data entry form. It may include supplementary information or example values to guide the user. It should be 1 to 2000 characters long. It is not required.
You must assign each item in a CRF to a section. To do so, enter the section_label of the section to which this item belongs. The value must be a valid section_label from this document. This field is required unless a parent_item is specified. The SECTION_LABEL corresponding to the section within which the question is located. (if different from parent question)
Enter the group label to which this item belongs. The value must be a valid Group_Label from the 'Groups' worksheet. This field is only required for items that will be assigned to a group.For ungrouped items, this field should be left blank.
Enter header, introductory, or instructive text that should be shown on top of the question. It must be between 1 and 2000 characters long. This field is optional.
Enter sub-header, introductory, or instructive text that should be shown on top of the question but under the question header text. It must be between 1 and 240 characters long. This field is optional.
You may create groups of questions in OpenClinica CRFs by naming a parent item. To do so, enter the item_name of the parent question. The value must be a valid item from this document with the same section_label. This field is optional.
You may allow adjacent items or items with the same parent to be aligned together. To do so enter a column number for the item. For example, consecutive items with column numbers 1 & 2 will appear on the same row. This field is optional.
Enter the page number of the item. If you use paper source documents and have a multi-page CRF, you may put in the printed page number. OpenClinica will create anchor links in the CRF. May be letters or numbers, 1 to 5 characters long, and is optional.

Provide the input type of the form field for this item. You must enter a valid HTML form input input type from the following list:
Create a custom label associated with a response set. This label must be defined once and may be reused by other items with the same responses (eg Yes, No). Must be alphanumeric, 1 to 80 characters long, and is required for each unique response set. Text and Textarea RESPONSE_TYPES should not share a RESPONSE_LABEL
Enter a list of the text values of the responses for this response set as a comma-delimited string. Must be 1 to 4000 characters long. It is required for each unique response label but not for previously used response labels.
Enter a comma-delimited list of the encoded values that are answers to this question, in the same order as their corresponding text values in RESPONSE_OPTIONS_TEXT. Must be 1 to 4000 characters long. Only required for each unique response label.
