Resolving Duplicate or Missing Records

When entering responses to a repeating question group during second-pass data entry, you may discover that a repeat from the CRF was either omitted or duplicated during first-pass entry.

To insert an omitted line

  1. Place the cursor in the first field of the repeating question group preceding the omitted line.

  2. Select Insert Record, which inserts a blank line after the existing line.

  3. Enter the omitted response row.

To delete a duplicate line

  1. Place the cursor in the first field of the response row to delete.
  2. Select Delete Record.

You cannot insert or delete repeats into a repeating question group that has protected repeating defaults. Additionally, you cannot exceed the value specified for the Maximum Repeats Expected parameter, if that question group has Enforce Maximum Repeats enabled. To help you detect the presence of extra or omitted repeats, the maximum repeat number entered in first-pass entry is displayed when you enter the repeating group during second-pass entry.
