About queries
Queries are applicable to both Oracle InForm and Clinical Ones studies, and behave the same way.
Queries and query statuses appear in both the Oracle Central Coding and the source application (Oracle InForm or Clinical One), and both Oracle Central Coding users and the Oracle InForm or Clinical One users can view and modify them.
Queries that are created in the Oracle Central Coding application appear in the InForm application as generated by an Oracle InForm application user with query rights. A Oracle Central Coding system administrator defines this user on the System Configuration page or the Study Information page for the study. For more information, see Setting system configuration options for queries (Setting system configuration options for queries, About queries) or Editing study information (Editing study information, About queries).
The Oracle Central Coding application sends query information to the Oracle InForm application for review by an Oracle InForm site user in a scheduled job called Exchange Query Updates. This job runs after each iteration of the Get Requests job and synchronizes query data in the Oracle InForm and the Oracle Central Coding applications each time it runs. For more information, see About job schedules (About job schedules, About queries).
An Oracle InForm query created in the Oracle Central Coding application can be addressed in the InForm application in the following ways:
- An Oracle InForm site user modifies the verbatim associated with the query and marks the query as Answered.
- An Oracle InForm site user marks a query as Answered and states that the original value is correct.
- An Oracle InForm user deletes the verbatim.
- An Oracle InForm sponsor user closes the query.
Note:
This is not the preferred way to close queries. A query created by a coder should be closed in the Oracle Central Coding application.
