Publishing Your Study
When you are ready to see how your study works in Study Runner, you can publish to Test. In addition to letting you use Study Runner features, publishing to Test generates OIDs that can be used for edit checks (constraints), cross checks, skip logic (relevant fields), calculations, and executing APIs.
To Publish Your Study to Test
- In Study Designer, click the Publish header button.
- Select Test.
- Click Publish to confirm that you want to publish your study.
Once you publish your study, click the Go header button, and select Test to enter Study Runner and start adding participants, entering data, creating queries, etc.
If you attempt to upload a new form version after your design has been published to Test, an error message appears, and you cannot upload the new form version if any of the following conditions are met:
- An items type was changed.
- An item group was changed.
- An item was moved into a repeating group.
- An item was moved out of a repeating group.
When you have thoroughly tested your study, you can publish it to Production. This should be done only when you feel that you wont need to make any more major changes.
Warning:
While you can still make changes to the design, once your study is in Production, you cannot:
- Change a Common Event to a Visit Based Event.
- Change a Visit Based Event to a Common Event.
- Change a Repeating Event to a Non-Repeating Event.
- Overwrite a form version; you must create a new version.
To Publish Your Study to Production
- In Study Designer, click the Publish header button.
- Select Production.
- Click Publish to confirm that you want to publish your study.
