Not-received DCM Statuses

During study definition, when you associate DCMs and DCM subsets with the DCM schedule, you mark them as either E (Expected) or O (Optional). DCMs that are not received and are marked as O in the DCM schedule simply get a status of Optional.

For a DCM marked E and Not Received on the expected visit date, the status indicates its degree of lateness, such as Missing, Off-targ, or Overdue.

Table 3-6 Statuses for DCMs Not Received

Status	Code(1)	Description
Optional	O	The DCM is not expected because it was defined as Optional during study definition.
Not Expected	NOT-EXPT	The DCM is not expected because a user gave it this status in the Maintain Missing DCMs window (see Maintain Missing DCMs Window).
Missing	MISSING	The DCM was not received at the expected visit, but other DCMs were received during that visit or subsequent visits.
Overdue	OVERDUE	The DCM was not received at the expected visit and 30 or more days have passed since the expected date for that visit; also, no other DCMs have been received for that visit or later visits.
Missing and Overdue	MSG&OVR	The DCM is missing and 30 or more days have passed since the expected date for that visit.
OffTarget	OFFTARG	The DCM has not been received within the user-specified target days since the expected date for that visit. A user can specify a target date of 0-29 days from the expected visit.
Missing and Off-Target	MSG&OFFT	The DCM is missing and the user-specified number of target days have passed since the expected date for that visit.
