Important Tips

1. Do NOT use the Backspace key except when your cursor is in a data entry field or you will lose any data entered but not saved

2. Navigation through screens with typical hot keys (e.g. TAB and Enter) is available

3. There is no horizontal scrolling required on 1024 x 768 screens

4. Holding the Ctrl key while using your scroll mouse(up/down) is to zoom in/out text and page

5. Always remember to locate the green icon to add data

Example:

If you progress without clicking on the icon and save the client record at the bottom of the screen, this data will NOT be included

6. If you lose connectivity – you will NOT lose data on the screen that you have entered but haven’t been able to save. Please leave your machine ON, stay logged on and try to save approximately every 30minutes

Saving Data

The concept of saving work to prevent data loss is central to all computer programs.

 

CDIS has a Save button at the bottom of all screens when you are adding or editing information. Note some screens may be long and require scrolling down to reach the bottom and access the Save button.

Click on the save button and you will see the following confirmation message

Click on Ok to close the message box.

 

If at any time you click on the Cancel button pictured below, you will be prompted with a warning box (see picture below). In this case, if I was sure that I wished to cancel and therefore lose any information I had entered or edited, I would click on YES.

Always take the time to read warning screens.

Best practice when saving consultation

When you are doing consultation, always make sure to double-triple check the data you have entered. At present, once you click Save you won't be able to go back to edit the consultation.

If you don't have the time to check the data that you have entered is correct, click Save As Draft first

When you ready to save the consultation permanently, go back to Consultations screen, under Incomplete consultations, choose the consultation and click Continue to resume.

Review and check the data. Click Save when you are satisfied.

Spell check in CDISCDIS relies on internet browser (Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox or Chrome) spell check add-on to perform spell check.

It would be best to contact your IT Council Coordinator/Administrator to install the spell check add-on in your internet browser.

Zoom-in and Zoom-out

If you are on the page and you are trying to view the content without having to scroll up and down. You can zoom out to view everything in one page (if you have a big resolution monitor, this will be an advantage) or you can zoom in to enlarge fonts to your preference.

In CDIS, simply hold your Ctrl key

and use the Mouse Wheel Up to Zoom in

and use the Mouse Wheel Down to Zoom out
