The above button menu (or button bar) gathers the most useful functions and it is located on the top of any record. Find here below the detailed description for each button:

this button creates an empty record that should be used to register the data of a new pregnancy case. All the sub-forms A-B-C-D-E are always created together, with status “EMPTY”.

as its name indicates, by selecting the “ALL CRF” button, the system retrieves all the records that are actually registered in the database.

this command allows to access the find mode, showing an empty form where you can digit your searching criteria in the appropriate fields. Once the searching criteria are entered, you should click on the “EXECUTE” button so that the system can release the search results, thus by selecting and displaying only the records that match with your search criteria.

use this command to display all the currently selected records as a list.

this button deletes the record in which you are. Note that the system allows you to erase a record only if all its five sub-forms A-B-C-D-E have status “EMPTY”.

this button is a sort of counter that indicates the number of your “forms to send”, namely those records that you want to submit to the Central Registry. When you click on this button, the system selects and displays all the records that have status “TO BE SENT” in at least one sub-form (A,B,C,D, or E).

this button is a sort of counter that indicates the number of your “forms to check”, namely those records that require your attention because the Central Registry has put some red lights for your revision. When you click on this button, the system selects and displays all the records that have status “TO BE CHECKED” in at least one sub-form (A,B,C,D, or E). Hence, when you change a record status from “TO BE CHECKED” to “TO BE SENT”, the button “CHECK” subtracts such record from its counter, thus it does no more count such record among the forms to check.

this button shows the number of your forms that have at least one pending sub-form (A-B-C-D-E) whose due date has expired.

this button allows to access the Eurap Tables, which is a sub-database where all the collected variables as well as the recruited centres are listed with their key codes.

this button brings you to the section of the EURAP website that contains some useful instructions about the software.

this button opens an internal messaging system through which you can communicate with the Central Registry. Hence, when there is a new mail in your message area, the button “MAIL” turns red and it also displays a number that indicates how many messages or notifications you have received.

this is an important button that effectively allows the cases transmission between each Eurap site and the Central Registry, and vice-versa. The button “SEND” selects and lists all those records “ready-to-send”, namely the records that have at least one sub-form with status “TO BE SENT”. Once retrieved the “forms to send”, you can launch the sending procedure in order to complete the cases transmission.

as its name indicates, by selecting the “ALL CRF” button, the system retrieves all the records that are actually registered in the database.

this button enables to find some records based on the status of their sub-forms. The “STATUS” button should be used when you need to retrieve all records that have a specific status in at least one sub-form. Once you click on button “STATUS”, the system enters the find status mode that displays a drop-down menu from which you can choose the status you want to search.

this command allows to access the find mode, showing an empty form where you can digit your searching criteria in the appropriate fields. Once the searching criteria are entered, you should click on the “EXECUTE” button so that the system can release the search results, thus by selecting and displaying only the records that match with your search criteria.

as its name indicates, this button closes the current window, bringing you back to the previous one.

this button brings you to the section of the EURAP website that contains some useful instructions about the software.

this button should be used to forward an unlock request to the Central Registry, namely when you need to access again one record that was previously closed as “DROP-OUT” as well as “NOT-ELIGIBLE”. When you click on the button “UNLOCK”, the system opens a window where you can write a message to the Central Registry to specify the reason why you want to unlock that “DROP-OUT” or “NOT-ELIGIBLE” record. Indeed, the button “UNLOCK” appears only on those records that have at least one sub-form (A,B,C,D, or E) with status “DROP-OUT” or “NOT-ELIGIBLE”. Kindly note that once you have forwarded the unlock request to the Central Registry, the button “UNLOCK” will be replaced by the label .

For completeness, kindly note that the button “UNLOCK” cannot be used twice on the same record. Hence, if you want to unlock again a record that has been already unlocked in the past, your new “UNLOCK request” should be sent to the Central Registry exclusively by email through the messaging area of the system.

this button opens the EURAP website in a new window of the internet browser.

this button ends the work session by disconnecting the user from the Eurap database. However, also note that for data security reasons, you will be automatically disconnected from the database after around thirty minutes of inactivity.
