When a trial has accrued many subjects, rather than entering the data subject-by-subject via the user interface (UI), you can upload all study subject data into CTRP using a batch file upload. The information that follows provides all the details you need to create an Accruals batch file.

If you are new to the batch file creation process, you can use the CTRP Accrual Batch File Tool to get you started. With it you can produce properly-formatted batch files that you can upload in the Accrual application.  

When you create a batch file, ensure that each data element conforms to the requirements:

  • List each data element in its appropriate position in a given row
  • Use the correct character cases (CAPITAL vs. lower case letters)
  • Use the correct character lengths (number of characters allowed in a single field)

After you have prepared a batch file, you can upload it to CTRP.  For instructions on submitting batch files, see Uploading Accrual Batch Data Files.
