Manually Locking RDCIs and RDCMs

To lock data for one or more RDCIs—each of which corresponds to the responses to a CRF for a single patient at a single visit—or one or more of the RDCMs contained in a RDCI, do the following:

1. From the Conduct menu, select Security, then select Lock Received DCIs/DCMs.
2. Enter a query to retrieve the RDCIs you want to lock. It does not need to be an exact match; you can select RDCIs to lock from the query results.
3. For each RDCI you want to lock, select its Lock box.

   Alternatively, to lock all the RDCIs that meet your query criteria, select Lock All Recs from the Special menu. The system locks all retrieved RDCIs, even if they are not in the visible portion of the window.

   Alternatively, if you want to lock an RDCM, put the cursor on the RDCI that contains the RDCM you want to lock, click the Received DCMs button, and select Lock for the RDCM you want to lock.

   Note:

   Lock RDCMs only rarely. In most cases, locking the whole RDCI (or more data) is more useful.

4. Save. This process may take a few minutes, depending on the number of RDCIs affected by the action. Click Exit to return to the main menu.
