What can I do when subject data is locked?

If a subject's data is locked or unlocked at the question, form, or visit level, site users will be able to view the status of the items they have permissions to see.

The following icons for locked and unlocked data are visible to site users, so long as they have permissions to view the corresponding items:

  • A Locked icon (Closed padlock icon) is visible next to a locked question for a subject with open queries.
  • An Unlocked icon (Open padlock icon) appears next to an unlocked question, indicating that the question has been unlocked by a sponsor user.

For more information on locked and unlocked data icons, see Signing, verifying, and freezing icon descriptions.
