The remark field allows displaying some information rather than entering data, for example, a line of text that can be added to your forms to provide a user with more information and structure the form.
Add the text you want to display in the 'label' section of the field.
To add a remark field:
- Go to Study Design,
- Go to the Forms subpage
- Select the visit and form where the field will be located
- Select the Remark in the field type panel
- Add the label that will be displayed in the eCRF
- Save
The maximum input for the remark field is 1024 characters. It is possible to format remark fields by using the markdown shown when you click on the icon:
- For italic text, use: *text*
- Output: text
- For bold text, use: **text**
- Output: text
- For underlined text, use: ***text***
- Output: text
- To insert a hyperlink, use the following template: [description](link).
Remark fields in the Data entry view
Adding multiple remark fields after each other in the study forms will add a space between them:
This can be used instead of bullet points.
Adding multiple remark fields after each other in a survey will not add a space, but instead will become one large field:
The Remark field is never exported as data, but is listed in the study variable list (separate sheet in Excel or a separate document when exporting as CSV).
