Delete data extraction job

Jobs are automated processes that can be set up in CTMS to schedule the execution of various activities, such as data extraction to external servers. Scheduling jobs saves time for manual export and enables regular and timely execution, minimizing risks of human error.

During your clinical trial management, your needs and arrangements might change, making certain previously created jobs obsolete. You can delete any job when and if the job is not required anymore.

To delete the data extraction job

  1. In the CTMS application header, select the REPORT tab.

  2. On the page that opens, in the left pane, select Job > Data Extraction.

  3. On the Data Extraction page that opens, next to the job that you want to delete, from the Action(s) column, select More more_icon.png > Delete Delete_icon_gray.png.

    Tip

    This option is only available for the jobs in the Inactive status. You cannot delete active jobs.
