I flagged a question in error

If you flagged a question in error or simply added the wrong data flag, don't worry. You can always go back and change or remove the flag altogether.

If you need to remove a data flag, you need to answer the question. Here's how to do it:

  1. On the Home page, determine where to work:
    • To work with real data in Production mode, click the title of the study.
    • To work with mock data in Training mode, click the Training Mode button ( graduation cap button ) on the study.
  2. Along the top of your page, select the Subjects tab.
  3. If you have access to multiple sites for the study, select a site from the Site drop-down in the upper-right.
  4. In the table, locate the subject, and click the visit in the Next Visits column.
  5. Look for the flagged question on the form. Type an answer to that question.
  6. In the Reason for Change field, type a reason for making this change.
  7. Click Submit.

And here's what you need to do if you want to update a data flag:

  1. On the Home page, determine where to work:
    • To work with real data in Production mode, click the title of the study.
    • To work with mock data in Training mode, click the Training Mode button ( graduation cap button ) on the study.
  2. Along the top of your page, select the Subjects tab.
  3. If you have access to multiple sites for the study, select a site from the Site drop-down in the upper-right.
  4. In the table, locate the subject, and click the visit in the Next Visits column.
  5. Look for the flagged question on the form. Hover over it, and click the menu icon to the right of the question.
  6. From the drop-down, select the right option for the question:
    • Mark Not Done: Use this flag if the answer to a question can't be provided at the moment. For example, a subject can't be weighed during a visit, so a required question about their weight can be marked as Not Done to proceed with form completion.
    • Mark Not Applicable: Use this flag if the answer to a question isn't applicable at the moment. For example, a subject doesn't need its heart rate measured during this visit, so the answer to a BPM question isn't applicable during this visit.
    • Mark Unknown: Use this flag if the answer to a question is unknown at the moment. For example, a subject doesn't know their blood type and there's no way to determine that on the spot.
  7. In the Reason for Change field, type a reason for making this change.
  8. Click Submit.
