See the ODMViewer in action (still of version 1.0) (viewlet movie - requires Flash plugin)

The ODM Viewer is the first tool on the market to visualize CDISC ODM 1.2 or 1.3 files in a very user-friendly way. The data are visualized as neatly ordered HTML tables with hyperlinks and with easy navigation through the whole contents of the ODM file.
This means that the user never sees any XML !
For those knowing the tool, the ODM Viewer works similarly to the old PHT CDISC Viewer (which was however never adapted for CDISC ODM 1.2)

How it works

After loading an ODM (1.1, 1.2 or 1.3 version), it displays the structure as a tree (left side pane), which the user can expand or collapse. If one of the leafs of the tree is clicked, the corresponding data is collected from the ODM file and visualized in one or more tables (right pane).

The Study Events tables - click to enlarge For example, a full overview in tabular form of all study events (i.e. visits) described in the ODM file can be generated by expanding the tree to the correct metadata version under Studies, and clicking the "Study events" leaf node. This then shows that there are two Study Events scheduled, with all the available information about them, and with hyperlinks to additional information, i.e. which forms are used and in which order they shoud be used.

Similarly, by clicking on the "Forms" leaf node, a list of all available forms, whether they are repeating, which Item Groups they have, etc., is displayed. As can be seen both the IDs of the forms as well as their assigned name is shown. The ODM terminology is as much as possibly hided for the user, so that also users that are unknown to the structure of the ODM and its element and attribute names can use the ODMViewer very easily.
For ease of navigating between tables, hyperlinks are provided.

When scrolling in the HTML view, one can easily return to a previous scroll position using the navigation buttons near the bottom of the screen. This is a functionality that even commercial browsers do not provide.
For the Clinical Data, the software lists all the data by Item Group. It automatically finds all the available ItemGroup's in the ClinicalData section of the ODM file, collects the data for them, and shows them as a list in the left pane. The user can then choose for which Item Group he/she wants to see the data, which is then nicely formatted into tables. Also the Audit Records information, Signature information, and if present, the Annotations are shown.

Alternatively, all data for an Item Group can be assembled into one large table, giving an overview over all Subjects, allowing to compare data between Subjects.

Working with subsets

Special functions can easily be added to the application. By default, functionality has already been added to select specific studies, metadata versions, sites and investigators, subjects, visits (study events), forms and item groups. As such, an infinite number of subsets can be created for which the data is then visualized in a number of tables (one for each Item Group).

Adding extra functionality

We have constructed the ODMViewer so, that additional functionality can easily be added. This can be already existing functionality, like the one for adding and verifying electronic signatures, or the CDISC ODM Checker, but it can also be functionality that is created according to your own specifications.

As such the ODMViewer can easily be extended into a veritable ODM Workbench, tailored to the needs of your company

Pricing

A single copy of the ODMViewer is available for the price of Euro 750 (US$1100), when your company is a CDISC member. Non-members pay Euro 1000 (US$1500).
