Issuing a query
To issue a query:
- In the Navigation pane, click Patients.
The Case Books List appears.
- Click the traffic light icon for the patient and visit in which you want to create a query.
- Click the tab for the form on which you want to issue a query.
The form appears.
- Do one of the following:
- For a regular item—Click the query icon in the farthest-right column of the item for which you want to create a query.
- For an item in an itemset or a repeating form instance—Click the itemset or repeating form instance row number, then click the query icon in the farthest-right column of the item for which you want to create a query.
The Queries page appears. If the item has no queries, the Queries page is blank. If the item has at least one query, the most recent query appears.
Note: Your trial may be configured so that when you click the query icon for an item that has no queries, a blank query form appears; you do not need to click Create Query. Go to Step 6.
Note: If you are performing source verification on a CRF, you can navigate to the Queries page. In the source verification view of the CRF, in the far-right column, click the query icon.
- Click Create Query.
- If you have rights to create a query in either Candidate or Opened state, use the Action drop-down list to select the state.
Note: If you have only one of these access rights, the state will be preselected.
- For Reason, select or type the query text by doing one of the following:
- Select the appropriate text from the drop-down control.
- Select Other and type the reason in the text box.
- Click Submit.
The form on which you entered the query appears. The appearance of the item changes as follows:
- If you issued an Opened query:
- The background color of the item changes to pink.
- The query text appears below the item.
- The query flag in the far-right column of the item is yellow.
To open the Queries page and view detailed information, click the query text.
- If you issued a Candidate query:
- The query flag turns yellow (if it was not already yellow).
- The background color and query text do not change until the query status is changed to Opened by a user with the rights to make that change.
Note: A Candidate query is invisible to site users until the query is opened.
- If you issued an Opened query:
- In the Navigation pane, click Queries to return to the Queries page.
- To see the status of all queries on this item, use the Query drop-down list. To choose a different action, select it from the Action drop-down list.
