Introduction

OpenSpecimen allows specimens to be collected as per a specific event calendar for clinical trial based protocols. This allows you to pre-define specimens in CP and collect planned specimens using the below screen:

...

However, this page does not have all fields that might be required for a specific protocol. Using CP workflows configuration, the administrator can configure additional fields to be captured after this step. 

  1. Steps to add workflow at the CP level - Collection Protocol Level Configuration section.

  2. Example JSON to configure the setup is shown in the screenshot below.

namenth_step.json

Once the workflow is uploaded, refresh your browser page once and then collect samples. After the specimen collection page, the below page appears.

  • The subform field is not supported in the nth step. This is because the sub-form is a 1:many relation with the main form, and it is not possible to display the 1:many field in the nth step.

  • A radio button is not supported on the nth step.

...

Configuration: Show ‘Processed By' and ‘Processed Time’ fields only for 'PBMC’ and 'Plasma' samples.

Configure visit fields on collection page (nth Step)

The visit fields - 'Clinical Diagnoses', 'Clinical Status', 'Surgical Pathology Number' etc. are not displayed on the specimen collection page when collecting planned samples. The specimen collection page is currently not configurable to add visit level fields. These fields can be configured on the nth step (page after specimen collection).

Below code block section 'visitFields' is used to add visit fields on the specimen collection page.

Introduction

OpenSpecimen allows specimens to be collected as per a specific event calendar for clinical trial-based protocols. This will enable you to pre-define specimens in CP and collect planned specimens as shown below:

...

This page is configurable from version 8.1 onwards, please refer to the wiki page https://openspecimen.atlassian.net/l/cp/Pd1eaN2c for more details. Using CP workflows configuration, you can configure additional fields to be captured after this step. You can configure any visit/specimen default and custom fields to capture value for them. Refer to the 'Collection Protocol Level Configuration' section to add workflow at the CP level.

The nth step works as an update option. The specimens are collected at the specimen collection page and only the values for the fields are updated in the nth step.

The below table explains different sections of the nth step: 

Section

Details

visitFields

If visit fields need to be displayed on the nth step, this section must be added. There will be only one section of this displaying one row for a visit being collected.

fields

Within visitFields section, include all fields to be displayed in a table format within the 'fields' section of JSON. 

title

Title of each section/table in the nth step.

fieldGroups

If fields need to be displayed in separate sections or tables, multiple sections can be within fieldGroups.

For example: 'Primary Specimen details', 'Aliquot details' etc. Each section can have a title, criteria, and set of fields.

criteria

This defines conditions for displaying fields in each section. For example 'Centrifuge event details' section can be displayed only for 'Whole Blood' & 'Primary' specimens.

NOTE

  • The subform field is not supported in the nth step. This is because the sub-form is a 1:many relation with the main form, and it is not possible to display the 1:many field in the nth step.

  • A radio button is not supported on the nth step.

  • Once the workflow is uploaded, refresh your browser page once and then collect samples.

  • The nth step page will appear after the default specimen collection page.

Show/hide the visit, collection and received event fields (v7.1)

Use-Cases

  1. Sometimes specimens are collected in the clinic but not yet received by the biobank when the clinic staff enters the details. So the received event is not needed on the specimen collection page.

  2. Collection times are different for each primary specimen. So instead of collecting one time for all, the user will collect diff times in the nth step.

The options are to be added in the specimenCollection section of the workflows JSON as illustrated below:

Code Block
languagejson
...

: ".indexOf('BCC') == ",
          "value" : "0"
        } ]
      },
      "enableCofrc" : false,
      "fields" : [ {
        "name" : "specimen.label",
        "baseField" : "specimen.label",
        "

type" : "

"data":

}, {
        "

showVisitDetails

name" : 

false

"specimen.parentLabel",
        "

showCollectionEvent

baseField" : 

false

"specimen.parentLabel",
        "

showReceivedEvent

type" : 

true,

"span"
      }, {
        "

defReceiveQuality

name" : "

To be Received", //defaults received qualtity to 'To be Received'

specimen.type",
        "baseField" : "specimen.type",
        "

defCollectionStatus

type" : "

Collected

span"

,


    

//defaults collection status to 'Collected' "defCollectionDate" : "none", // defaults collection date to blank. The supported values are none, current_date and visit_date ... }

The above configuration hides visit fields, collection event fields and displays the received event fields. When the above configuration is not present, all the fields are displayed by default.

Info

When defCollectionDate = 'visit_date', the common collection and received dates will be the same as whatever populated in the visit date field.

When defCollectionDate = 'current_date', the collection and received dates will be the current/present date/time.

When defCollectionDate = 'none' or blank, then the user is forced to select a date for collection and received fields.

Configure Visit Fields on the nth Step

The visit fields - 'Clinical Diagnoses', 'Clinical Status', 'Surgical Pathology Number' etc. are not displayed on the specimen collection page when collecting planned samples. The specimen collection page is currently not configurable to add visit level fields. These fields can be configured on the nth step and will be displayed only for planned specimens.

Info

'visitFields' section is used to add visit fields on the nth step. You need to add the dictionary section as well before adding the fields in the Nth step.

The options are to be added in the “specimenCollection” section of the workflows JSON as illustrated below:

Code Block
languagejson
{
  "name": "specimenCollection",
   "data": {
     "showVisitDetails": false,
     "showCollectionEvent": false,
     "showReceivedEvent": true,
     "defReceiveQuality": "To be Received",  //defaults received qualtity to 'To be Received'
     "defCollectionStatus" : "Collected",    //defaults collection status to 'Collected'
     "defCollectionDate" : "current_date",   // (v8.1) defaults collection and received dates to current date. The supported values are none, current_date and visit_date.
  ...
          } 
}

The above configuration hides visit fields, collection event fields, and displays the received event fields. When the above configuration is not present, all the fields are displayed by default.

From v8.1, the collection and receive dates would be blank by default. You can set the collection and receive dates as below:

Code

Description

defCollectionDate = 'visit_date'

The common collection and receive dates will be the same as whatever is populated in the visit date field.

defCollectionDate = 'current_date'

The collection and receive dates will be the current/present date/time.

defCollectionDate = 'none'

You are forced to select a date for collection and received fields.

Remove the default visit date(v10.0)

Code Block
{
  "name": "specimenCollection",
  "data": {
    "defVisitDate": "none"
  }
}

Once you added the above code "defVisitDate": "none" in the "specimenCollection section”, you can see the visit date field empty. OpenSpecimen will ask the user to enter the date to proceed further.

Disable visit autofill (v11.0)

The defaulted values on events or workflows configuration are autofilled in both cases.
