Customizable Display Settings

Ripple allows you to customize primary display settings to enhance accessibility and usability.

1. Set Locale

• • By default, Ripple adopts the local settings of the computer it is being used on.
  • If needed, you can manually adjust the time and date settings to match your preferred locale.

Global Log Settings

Ripple provides Global Log Settings to manage log visibility and sharing across studies. These settings control how log entries appear in a participant’s profile.

1. Show Global Logs

• • When enabled, Global comments in a participant’s log from the Registry or another study will be visible in the current study’s log.
  • This setting helps maintain continuity of participant records across multiple studies.

2. Default ‘Check’ Global for All Logs

• • When enabled, all new entries in the Comments, Email, Contact, and Consent Logs are automatically marked as Global by default.
  • You can manually uncheck this setting for logs that should remain study-specific.

Combined Status View Overview

When you enable the Combined Status View in Ripple, the system displays all Potential Participants across all statuses in a single, continuous list—without separating them by status headers.

Key Behaviors:

• The status group headers (e.g., “Contacted,” “Screened,” “Eligible”) are removed from the view.

• Participants are not grouped by status; instead, they appear as one consolidated list in the Status Table.

• The participant's status now appears in a column.

• This view is useful when you want to apply filters, sort participants, or take bulk actions across statuses without having to scroll through each grouped section individually.

Use Case Example:

If you’re trying to export or review all Potential Participants regardless of where they are in your recruitment workflow, enabling Combined Status View provides a streamlined way to see and manage them all at once.

1. Navigate to the Study Settings for your current study.

2. Scroll to the Display section.

3. Toggle on the setting labeled "Combined Status View".

New Status Page (introduced June 2025)

Display Option – Wider or Full-Screen View:
Ripple has introduced a layout enhancement allowing users to expand the Participant Profile Card(Potential or Enrolled)  to a wider or full-screen view.
To enable this option:

1. Navigate to the Study Settings for your current study.

2. Scroll to the Display section.

3. Toggle on the setting labeled "New Status Page".

This view is especially useful when reviewing large amounts of data,  or navigating complex custom variables and survey history. Any changes you make to the screen view will only affect your view; it will not affect other Ripple ursers.
