Applying Page Statuses

To check on the status of the pages in a DCI:

  1. Select a Data Entry task.

    You cannot change the information in the block if you have gone into the form from the Browse task of Log-In.

  2. From the Special menu, select Maintain Page Tracking Status.

Oracle Clinical displays a form with the following fields:

Book Page the page number of the physical page in the CRF.

Page Status one of the status choices displayed in the table below. If the field is completed by the system, Oracle Clinical chooses the status that matches the status of the DCI. If the Blank field is set to Y, then the status of all pages is set to blank. You can manually change the status of any page, using the list of values from the Help menu. For example, if one page of a CRF cannot be located, you can set the status to missing, then perhaps add information in the Comment field.

Has Data? if any data is recorded on the page, this box is automatically checked.

Comment an optional field for comments related to the page.

By default, Oracle Clinical provides the following statuses that apply to CRF page tracking and appear in the Page Tracking field:

Table 2-1 List of Values for Page Status

Status Value Description

RECEIVED

Page has been received.

UNKNOWN

Page has no data

MISSING

Page has not been received.

BLANK

Page has been received with no data.

PRESENT

Page has been received with no data and Oracle Clinical did not mark it as blank

PASS 1 COMPLETE

Pass 1 has been performed on this page.

PASS 2 COMPLETE

Pass 2 has been performed on this page.

REMOVED

Page has been removed by the system.

The following restrictions are in effect if you are trying to change the status displayed in the Page Tracking field:

  • unknown can only be changed to missing or present

  • status cannot manually be changed to Received, Pass 1 Complete, Pass 2 Complete, Removed, Blank

  • status of Received, Pass 1 Complete, Pass 2 Complete, and Removed cannot manually be changed.

You can modify this list of available statuses, by customizing the ChangePageStatus function provided in the ocl_client_pack. Currently this function is empty and returns the string dummy. Whenever the page status changes, Oracle Clinical calls the user-defined function ChangePageStatus. If it returns the string dummy, Oracle Clinical performs some status validations. If the string has a different value, indicating that the function has been customized, these validations are not performed.
