  • Alerts and Messages: These alerts and messages display when you perform actions in OpenClinica. For example, after you log in, a message reports the date you last logged in. Look here for confirmation that an action you performed was successful, or to see if there were any errors.
  • Instructions: The Instructions panel provides brief directions or a summary of what you can do at that point in OpenClinica. For more information, click the Help button (question mark) in the body of the page.
  • Other Information: This shows the name of the current Study or Site, start and end date of the Study, the name of the Principal Investigator, and the Protocol Verification/IRB Approval Date, if it applies. To see details for the Study or Site, click the name. For more information, see About Study Details.
  • Icon Key: The panel is available when icons are used in the body of the page, such as for the Subject Matrix. It shows each icon relevant to that page and describes what the icon means.
