Shortcut buttons

Across the top of the main screen is a row of large buttons. The first two are shortcuts to two of the options on the View menu. The buttons are shown with the relevant options below.

When a shortcut button is pressed, the relevant window will open. When the button is pressed again, that window will close. Once opened, windows can be moved around the screen and you can have more than one open at once.

Study Details		Use this to open the Study Details window. From here, you can enter or edit basic study details, specify questions to be used in the creation of subject labels, set up registration, enter reasons for change and keep track of any required questions. This option is disabled in the Library Management module.
Question List		Use this to open the question list panel. This list contains all of the questions in the study, organised into the eForms in which they appear.
eForms		Use this to open the eForms panel. This consists of a row of tabs, each one corresponding to an eForm in the study. Clicking on a tab displays the eForm beneath the tabs.
Visits		Use this to display the schedule. This a grid, with the study visits across the top and each eForm down the left hand side. eForm icons are placed within the grid to show at which visit each eForm should be completed. This option is disabled in the Library Management module.
Arezzo		Use this to open the InferMed Composer. This is a separate application that can be used to add scheduling constraints to the study. This option is disabled in the Library Management module.
References		Use this to open the references window. In here, you can select files to attach to the study. These files will then be available for reference during data entry. This option is disabled in the Library Management module.
Library		Use this to open the library question list. In here, you can copy questions and eForms from the library into your own study. This option is disabled in the Library Management module.
List of Other Studies		Use this to display a list of other studies within the current database. From here, you can copy questions and eForms from another study into yours.
Group Question List by eForm		Select this option to display the list of questions within their respective eForm folder. De-select the option to display the eForm folder name(s) within each question. The latter is useful to track repetitive usage of a question in eForms.
Display Question List by Name		Select this option to display the list of eForms and questions by name. De-select the option to display the list by question and eForm code.
Display Question List eForms Alphabetically		Select this option to display eForms in alphabetical order in the question list. De-select the option to display them in schedule order.
Arezzo Terms Report		Select this option to display a report on the correctness of all Arezzo terms defined within the study.

Some of the options are not relevant to the Library Management module and so are permanently greyed out.
