Permissions: Users with Data Central permissions can view configured profiles. To configure profiles a user must have the Data Central Designer or Patient Profile Configure privilege. Users who were assigned privileges in earlier versions of Data Central may have the Patient Profile View privilege to access the patient profiles and Patient Profile Configure to create / manage patient profiles.
Graphical Patient Profiles (GPP) can be accessed from the Subjects panel, and from the left navigation once a row is selected in a listing, and are configurable by study. Possible domains might include: AEs, Exposure, Labs, Vitals, ConMeds.

Icons in the GPP Panel Toolbar
- Next / Previous Record - The left/right arrow icons are used to navigate between profiles, or use the Previous / Next Subject icons (arrows) in the left navigation.
- Zoom Out - The magnifying glass with a minus icon is used to return a GPP to its original timeline view. Initially, a GPP displays all data over time. Zooming in on a specific area (by clicking and dragging) adjusts the timeline view; clicking the Zoom Out icon resets the view to the original state.
- Show / Hide Legend - The shapes icon toggles the legend's visibility.
- Export - The PDF icon is used to export the profile to a PDF file. The resulting PDF may contain multiple pages, depending on the profile's length.
- Create Issue - The tag icon is used to create an issue on the overall profile for the patient.
- Configure - The gear icon is used to configure or edit the profile, (requires appropriate permissions).
- Maximize / Restore - The screen icon toggles to maximize the window to full screen or return the panel to its original placement. Maximizing the GPP improves visibility.
- Close - The x icon is used to close the GPP.
Note: If data are not available for a particular subject, the profile will show but each chart in the profile will be empty and will display the message "No data points available for this chart." Also, if data are available for one chart in the profile but not another, it will only display the message for the charts that do not have data.
Within each profile section, click the far-right icons to view data and/or create issues.
Use the scrollbar on the far right to see all profile items. Hovering at the bottom displays the x-axis labels, which show calendar dates or study days depending on the profile's configuration.
Use GPP Features
Tip: Advanced Filters can be applied to a GPP, automatically updating the displayed data. This allows for more granular, customized filtering, enabling users to focus on specific data subsets.

Normal ranges are identified by the shaded blue area, typically displayed for data showing findings that can be graphed; for example, Labs and Vitals. Any data points that fall outside the normal range display in red. Any data points that fall within the normal range display in blue. Note that ranges can be configured to reflect the patient demographics or they can be hard coded. This would be defined by the client.
