Subject

A subject represents a unique entity within the project, and the pipeline is executed for each subject. Typically, each subject corresponds to an individual patient.

Add a new subject

Click the red 'Add new subject' button in the upper left corner and fill in the required information. The star indicates mandatory fields.

  • ID represents the Subject ID that will be used throughout the entire project.

  • Year of Birth information is not displayed in the pipeline or in events. The information will be accessible in the Results table and during data export.

  • Cohort information is not displayed in the pipeline or in events. The information will be accessible in the Results table and during data export.
    💡 you can filter for cohorts within the pipeline.

  • Sex information is not displayed in the pipeline or in events. The information will be accessible in the Results table and during data export.

  • Site name should be included if the subject should be associated with a specific site. You can add as many sites as required.
    👉The site must first be added to the project to appear in the drop-down menu.
    💡You can create subgroups by organising subjects into different sites. That allows you to manage access to these subgroups by assigning members with a subject scope role to the same site(s).

  • Subject type (Live/Test) allows you to create subjects in the test-environment and try the pipeline.
    👉 To view the test subjects, please navigate to the filter section and switch to the test environment.
    💡Test subjects will run the most recently saved pipeline event, regardless of its approval status. This feature enables users to explore pipelines prior to their formal approval.

Delete a subject

You cannot delete a subject from the project, as preserving data integrity is crucial for project tracking and analysis. However, you do have options to manage subjects that are no longer needed for your research. One option is to change the subject's status to "Excluded." This action effectively removes the subject from active consideration in your project while retaining the information for historical reference. It is important to note that excluded subjects will not be included in any results or reports.

Alternatively, you can move the subject to the test environment. This allows you to maintain the subject's data without impacting the live pipeline or ongoing analyses.
