A
study
is a collection of input data folders, settings, and an output folder. Specifically, a study consists of a
Study Name
associated with
one or more
data set folders (at least one
SDTM or SEND Folder
or
ADaM Folder
must be specified) and
zero or more
settings, along with a unique
Output Folder
.
Most JMP Clinical processes
require
that you specify a
study
before execution. The chosen study is
automatically updated
with the output data sets created and the setting that is run. A
metadata
folder for each study provides a central location for tracking all the processes that have been run, in both the
_processinfo.sas7bdat
data set and the
StudyLog.txt
file. A
notes folder
similarly contains study comment files.
Note
: Metadata, notes, and other saved settings are stored in your user home folder. In Windows 7, this is typically
C:\Users\
<your user name>
\AppData\Local\SAS\JMPClinical\12\JMPC\.
