• Global
• Project
• Study

Objects defined in a specified level will inherit attributes from any level above it.  For example, the objects defined in the project level will inherit the attributes from the global level.  In this way, standards are accomplished throughout the hierarchy. 

Levels administration is found in the administration tools area under the levels icon.   Levels administration consists of the following functions:

• Adding a new level
• Deleting an existing level
• Modifying attributes of a level

The first entry for the clinical level is a unique short name for the level.  This will be used a a key field so use eight characters or less.  The second entry is a description of this level.  Type a short phrase or a sentence describing the nature of this level.  The last item will determine the order into which this new level will be inserted.  Select the level in the list which the new level will be inserted after.

Click the OK button for this new level to be inserted.

Deleting A Level
This is accomplished at the main administration dialog box.  The delete button is displayed next to each level.  Click on the delete button corresponding to the desired level and that level will be deleted.  Note that objects defined in this level will be deleted as well, so it is important that this is verified before deletion.
