This article covers the introduction to Datatrak Direct.

If you have logged in and don't know where to begin, you're in the right place!

Access and permissions to Datatrak Direct functions are controlled by your study administrator. All functions you have access to are found in the menu(s) along the top of the page. Depending on your permissions, you may have access to some or all of the menus shown in the image below.

Be sure you have downloaded the Datatrak Direct mobile app on either iOS or Android for an enhanced experience with data entry and study management.

As a first step, it is important to set your local user preferences for the purpose of data entry - specifically on dates and times. Some instances may automatically prompt for this information when you sign in.

If you are a user at a site (example: Coordinators, Investigators, or Monitors), read about accessing subject records.

The Home Page

The home page is a customizable landing page that both the mobile application (Datatrak Direct) and the website have. The homepage is the first page you are brought to once logging in or by clicking on the "Home" button in the top right corner navigation bar. The website allows study administrators to define what users see on the study home page, so this content can vary. 

The mobile app contains a couple of helpful metrics related to study progress:

• Study Progress - A calculation of the total number of scheduled visits divided into the completed visits.
• Enrollment Progress - The number of subjects registered across all sites in the study compared to the overall subject registration goal defined for the study. For example, suppose the goal is 100, and there are currently 25 subjects registered. In that case, this will display 25%, regardless of the existing subjects' current status.

Please consult with your study administrator for ways to get additional metrics about your study.
