Tracking DCF Pages

Oracle Clinical automatically assigns page release numbers to all DCF print jobs. When a final version is initially printed, it is assigned a release number of zero. The system increments the release number whenever you reprint the final version.

To see DCF page tracking information, click the DCF Pages button from the Maintain Data Clarification Forms window. The following information is displayed:

  • Page Number. Each page number corresponds to a printed page.

  • Release Number. The most recent release number for the DCF Report.

  • Page Status. You can set a status for individual DCF Report pages if they differ from each other. Available page statuses are: Missing, Sent and Received. If you set a page status that is different from other pages in the same DCF, or different from the DCF Status, the system automatically recomputes the DCF Status (see the table below).

  • Status Date. The status date identifies when the print job was performed.

  • Reference Number. This field is enterable and its use is determined by your organization.
