Quick tutorial

A quick guide to RTC Workspace

The workflow is intentionally simple: build a study setup, use it in list generation or participant screening, and review everything later in History.

Start here
1
Create the study setup

Define arms, ratios, block size, and participant count.

2
Run the right workflow

Generate a list or randomize one participant.

3
Review the saved record

Reopen past results and reuse the best saved setups.

01

Create or load a study setup

Open Study Setup to start a new configuration, or load a saved trial if your team already built one.

02

Define the allocation

Add your study arms, set the ratio for each arm, choose block size, participant count, prefix, and an optional random seed.

03

Choose the right workflow

Use Study Setup when you need a full allocation list. Use Screen & Randomize when enrolling one participant.

04

Review the result

Each result screen shows the generated outcome clearly and lets you save a useful setup for future work.

05

Check History

Open History to review past list generations and participant randomizations, reopen result views, or save setups from past records.

When to use Study Setup

Best for planning and preparing the structure of a trial.

Create named study arms

Example: Control, Standard Care, Intervention A.

Control the allocation ratio

Use equal or unequal ratios depending on the study design.

Generate a participant list

This is useful when your team needs a full allocation schedule or exportable randomization list.

Reuse strong configurations

Once a result is correct, save the setup so the same study can be loaded later.

When to use Screen & Randomize

Best for handling one participant at a time during enrollment.

Enter participant details

Add the participant ID, site, and any extra notes your team wants to keep with the result.

Check eligibility

Choose the right status so ineligible or pending participants are not treated like finalized randomizations.

Use a saved setup when possible

This keeps the participant workflow consistent with the study design created earlier.

Review the result immediately

The result page confirms the participant outcome and then sends a clean record into History.

Saved setups and History

How the workspace keeps your project organized.

Saved setups

Saved setups store the reusable trial structure, including arm names, ratios, block size, participant count, and optional seed.

History

History stores both list generations and single randomizations, so the team can revisit what happened without recreating it.

Open past results

Each history row can reopen the actual result screen, which is useful for checking older work quickly.

Frequently asked questions

Simple answers for first-time users.

What is the difference between Study Setup and Screen & Randomize?

Study Setup builds a full study configuration and can generate a list. Screen & Randomize handles one participant at a time.

When should I use block size?

Block size controls how assignments are balanced in groups during list generation. It should match the ratio structure of your study arms.

Where can I find older results?

Open Workspace → History to filter, review, and reopen past list generations or participant randomizations.

How do I reuse a study later?

Save the setup from a result screen or from History, then load it again from Saved setups or directly in the workflow pages.
