For RDC studies one data type DCM per DCI using qualifying values can be
used depending on the study design.

5. DCM/DCI Structure and Layouts
The default responses for height/weight/temp units for all US-based studies will
be ‘IN’, ‘LBS’, and “F” (unless specifically requested). The default unit for studies
outside the US will be ‘CM’, ‘KG’, and “C”.
NOTE: If your study has multiple sites on multiple continents, do not default any
values, and make these responses enterable.

6. DCM/DCI Structure and Layouts
Provide the CDC with the Standard Upper/Lower Bound Ranges. Modify (if
applicable) and assign the Upper/Lower Bounds to appropriate DCM Questions.

For local lab pages, LPARMDES will be defaulted for all the tests specified by the
protocol. Text needs to be placed next to each repeat in the database to list the
full lab test name.

11. DCM/DCI Structure and Layouts
Layouts will not be modified except for Data Entry proficiency.
Special Instructions should be included in the CRF Completion
Guidelines and should not appear on RDC Screens.
PDS Core Safety module layouts for RDC Classic and PDF will be
included in DCMs that are copied from the GLIB. These layouts
will only need to be modified when Optional Questions are
ADDED/REMOVED from the DCM.

12. PDF Layouts and Structure
For all PDF Layouts only, ensure that the Title Text uses an 11pt.
Arial Font (Bold), and all other text used is 9pt. Arial Font.
PDS Core Safety Layouts should mirror those in the Data
Standards Catalog.
For all RDC-PDF studies, both Classic and PDF Layouts need to
created and modified.
Indicator Questions can be used, but the Default Response must
be left BLANK.

You can find view the Graphic Layout Tab to see if your Graphic Layout
exists when you copy your DCM into the study. You can also check
Height and Width parameters to ensure the Layout will be Valid.
