Source verification FAQs
Where do I go to verify a form or item?
- Click Monitor, then in the CRF column, click the abbreviation for the form that has data to source verify.
- Click Subjects, then click a status icon for the visit with the form that has data to source verify, and click the form name on the left.
- Click Subjects, then click the subject number for the subject whose form has data to source verify.
How can I see the SV status of all of the subjects at my sites?
At the top of the page, click Monitor. A table appears with a row for each form that requires source verification at one visit for a single subject, and each instance of a repeating form in its own row.
What are the available SV states?
Source verification states
State |
Description |
|---|---|
All |
All started forms. Note: This state is an option only when you are creating a custom filter. |
Not Verified |
A form marked as SV Required in the study design is not verified. |
Not Complete |
An item marked as SV Required in the study design is not verified. |

The form has no unverified items. Note: If you modify data or add a comment to a form that is Verified, the state of the form reverts to Not Verified. |
SV Ready |
The form has been marked by a user as ready for source verification. |
Not SV Ready |
The form has been marked by a user as not ready for source verification. |
What does it mean if a form is Verified?
The Verified form state means that there are no unverified items on the form.
A form is verified if:
- The form has no items that require verification.
- Items that require verification were manually verified.
- The only item on a form that requires verification is an itemset, but no instances (rows) of that itemset have been created.
- This happens because in InForm you verify itemset rows, not individual items within the itemset.
You must manually verify a form if:
- The only item on the form that requires verification is an itemset, and the instances (rows) of that itemset have been started.
Note: You can't verify a form if it has a hidden item that requires verification. We recommend updating the study design so that this doesn't occur.
What if someone changes data that was already source verified?
The form or item is un-verified if:
- The value of a data item on a form changes.
- A form or item comment is entered.
- Form comments un-verify every item on the form.
- An item comment un-verifies just that item.
- Repeating forms or itemset rows are deleted or undeleted.
- The form or the itemset row is un-verified.
When the verification status changes, InForm highlights the form or item so that you can re-verify it.
- The source verification status of the form changes to a status that indicates that source verification is incomplete.
- You can see this change in the Source Verification Listing page.
A subject at my site has locked forms. Can I still require source verification of that subject's data?
Yes. A form may be locked before it is designated for source verification, and then selected for Partial SV at a later point in the study. This can happen if your study uses Partial SV and the form is for a subject who was selected for source verification or because the form is on the critical forms list
