This report determines whether visit dates are unusual for subjects when ordering dates according to visit number.
Report Results Description
Running Visit Order with the Nicardipine sample setting and default options generates the report shown below:
The report contains the following elements:
•
A series of histograms summarizing the number of subjects in various study sites, treatment arms, and countries.

Report Options
Visits
This report helps you determine whether visit dates are unusual for subjects when ordering dates according to visit number. To optimize this evaluation, you must first indicate if you want to consider Subsequent visits on the same day as valid and whether there are visits (marked by Special visits to exclude) that should be excluded.
Unscheduled Visits
Unscheduled visits can occur for a variety of reasons and cancomplicate analyses. By default, these are excluded from this analysis. However, by unchecking the Remove unscheduled visits box, you have the option of including them.
Filtering the Data:
Filters enable you to restrict the analysis to a specific subset of subjects and/or specific visits, based on values within variables. You can also filter based on population flags (Safety is selected by default) within the study data.
