Locking Data

Locked data cannot be modified except by users with privileged update. After data has been locked, it cannot be unlocked.

Oracle Clinical provides three methods for locking collected patient data:

• To lock all collected data associated with a particular Investigator, study site, patient range (or single patient), clinical planned event, accessible date range, or DCI name, from the Conduct menu, select Security, then select Lock.
• To lock one or more Received DCIs or Received DCMs—corresponding to one or more CRFs or portions of a CRF—from the Conduct menu, select Security, select Lock Received DCIs/DCMs.
• In addition, when you freeze a study, Investigator, study site or patient, the patient data associated with that unit is automatically locked. See Freezing and Locking Data.
