There are two methods to hide treatment columns (fields) in the
treatment editor. Please note that changing the Visible status for a
treatment column will hide that treatment column in all studies. Change
the maximum field size only applies for the current study.
1. Settings Window: Either open an existing protocol or trial, or
create a new protocol. To create a new protocol:
- Select File from ARM menu bar, then New Protocol.
- Select the study definition (such as G-All7.def) and click OK.
- Select OK on the New Protocol dialog to create the new protocol.
To change the visible treatment columns:
1. Select Window from ARM menu bar, then Settings.
2. Click the Treatments tab to display the Treatment Field grid.
Use this grid to identify which treatment fields are visible on the
treatment editor, and if necessary to increase the length of treatment
columns on the treatment editor. The Setting column may be locked for
some customized study definitions because of database limitations.
Please note that any treatment field length of 0 hides the treatment
field even if the Visible checkbox is marked. Changing length to 0 in an
existing study loses all information entered in that treatment editor
column for the current study. It is best to simply hide fields than to
set length to 0.
3. If you want to use current settings on General, Design, Treatment,
Application, and Layout tab as default values the next time a new
protocol is created with this same study definition, then select the
Save as Default button.
4. Select OK button to accept changes.
At times a user may be prevented from making changes to existing
treatment field entries. The treatment entries are locked because this
action is desired for a customized ARM installation, or because the user
does not have sufficient access rights to make changes to treatments. At
times this situation is identified by a "Not allowed to change" message
displayed on the message bar.
2. Treatment View Options: A treatment view is the default settings
when displaying the Treatment editor window. When a study is open,
select Tools from the ARM menu bar, then select Options, then click the
Treatment View tab. The same Treatment Fields grid displays that is
described above for Settings. Hide treatment columns by clearing the
check mark from the Visible checkbox, or show a hidden column by
clicking on the Visible checkbox to add a check mark.
Treatment field length changes only affect the study in memory.
Selecting the “Save As Default” button in Settings also applies the
length change to new protocols that are created for the current or
selected study definition.
Resizing Columns: To resize a column on the treatment editor, move
the mouse to the heading row of the column to be changed. Click with the
mouse on the vertical column separator line. While holding down the
mouse, drag the vertical line to the desired position and then release
the mouse. Note: Changing the column width in the treatment editor only
changes the view. Actual field lengths must be changed in Settings under
Treatment Field Lengths, or in the Treatment View Options dialog. |
