{tfrmtbuilder}

The {tfrmt} package provides a language for defining display-related metadata, which can then be used to automate and easily update output formats. {tfrmtbuilder} serves as an interface to the package, allowing users to quickly and easily modify existing or new table templates.

Supported workflows

Like {tfrmt}, {tfrmtbuilder} can be used to support a variety of workflows, including the following:

• Creating tables from scratch
• Create tables based on a template
• Modifying an existing table

Additionally, {tfrmtbuilder} supports tables created during study planning (mock tables) or later on after the analysis is complete.

App Features and Workflow

• Mock vs. non-mock toggle
  • At the top of the app, use the toggle to specify whether you are generating a mock (no data values) or a table with data values.
• Initialize tab
  • Load an existing {tfrmt} (JSON) or start fresh
  • Define your data source:
    • Auto [mock only]: Use auto-generated mock data
    • Upload: Upload an existing dataset (most file formats)
      • Note: If in ‘mock’ mode, this will serve as a shell with the numeric data value column ignored
    • Example [mock only]: Use a pre-loaded example dataset
• Edit tab
  • Select ARD column mappings
  • Format table via the ‘plans’ and other functionality
  • View the table as you modify
• Export tab
  • Download {tfrmt} metadata (JSON)
  • Download {tfrmt} table (HTML, PNG)

{tfrmtbuilder} can be installed and used with the following code:

# development version
devtools::install_github("GSK-Biostatistics/tfrmtbuilder")

# from CRAN
