On the home page, selecting a study will display the study info. This includes the study name, study status, study notes (visible to all EDC users), a dropdown field to view study features, and whether PHI will be collected.

Clicking “Edit Study” allows for general study settings to be modified such as “Info,” “Features,” and “PHI Settings.”

Section 2: Edit Study - Features

 

If “PHI Collection” is selected as a study feature, then the dialog box above will offer specific PHI options that can be collected. “Optional” means PHI is optional for collection and “Required” means PHI is required of the participant. The PHI collection will occur during participant creation and is explained in the Participant Management section of this wiki.

In each section, selecting “Next“ saves any changes made in that section. A dialog box will appear with a prompt to save any changes made or to close the form with changes unsaved.

Selecting “Done“ on the final section saves all changes to that section (changes on prior pages have already been saved), closes the form, and returns to the study info page.
