If instruments have the same number in the Instrument Block drop list, they are in the same block. If an instrument is given the block “Not Included” the instrument will not appear in the specified arm/assessment. All Not Included instruments are sorted to the end of the instrument list.
 
Block Administration
This field is used to designate whether a block of instruments should be administered in a fixed or random order.

The default is fixed.

Selecting a block administration option for one instrument within a block will dynamically change this field for all instruments within the same block.

“Fxed” means the block of instruments will be administered in the order established by their block number, e.g. block 1 with a fixed block administration will always be the first instrument block administered to a participant. 

graphic
“Random” means  the block of instruments to be administered randomly, e.g. block 1 & block 2 with random block administration will be randomly be the first instrument block administered to a participant.

Values may be in consecutive, non-sequential order.

 
Completed by Participant
This checkbox is used to indicate whether an instrument should be administered to a participant. If the box is unchecked the instrument will only be available to the study team in the Participant Data section of the Administration tab.  Only team members with proper roles on the study may view and/or enter data into these instruments.

The default is checked, i.e. administer instrument to a participant.

Chart review or clinician rated instruments are examples of when the Completed by Participants checkbox should be left unchecked.
 
Administer
This drop list allow a user to indicate whether or not they would like the system to check if an item has already been administered in an assessment and if that is the case, not administer the same item on a subsequent instrument within the same arm/assessment. If a user selects No Duplicates under the Administration field any item already administered in preceding instruments will not be administered a second time. 

The default is the administration of All Items.

When using No Duplicates, the score recorded when the item was first administered will appear in the export files for all subsequent instruments in which the item appears.

An Administer selection is not available if an instrument is using the Administration Methods,  CAT orBranch.
