Lessons Learned

  • It is important to create Auxfields for the common

p formatting of Basil controls.

  • Storing data in different Basil instruments allows
  • Storing data in different Basil instruments allows

modularizing code for easy maintenance and testing.

  • Use Blaise databases instead of an SQL database during

the instrument development phase.

  • Build the database load utilities at the same time as you

design and develop the Basil instrument.

In Summary

O r impressions of sing Basil to b ild the Our impressions of using Basil to build the Westat Participant Tracing System prototype are

  • verall very good Basil features free form data
  • verall, very good. Basil features free form data

entry and the ability to freely move from one module to another. Formatting a Basil instrument g requires a little acclimation, but the ability to do your own formatting results in a rich and clean l ki i t f looking user interface.
