Data Views

  • Updated

Flywheel captures a great deal of data and metadata from imported data sets, processing results, and information added by users. All of that is indexed and can be used in a Data View report. For example, you can create a demographics report for all of the subjects in your study or aggregate data from exams in a longitudinal study to assess changes over time.

Site admins have the ability to create site templates. Site templates will automatically appear in each project. Users in that project can then run the report against their own project data to generate a data view– this allows you to standardize reporting throughout the site.

  1. Go to a project.

  2. Click Data View from the top menu.
