Delete factor

In IWRS, you can delete the factors that are no longer needed to keep your list up-to-date. However, you cannot delete the factors if:

  • The factor has been created automatically by the system. In other words, the factor is of the CRF Mapping type. In such a case, the Delete option is disabled.

  • The factor has been created manually but is already used in the system—used as cohort inclusion criteria or as a treatment-determining factor in the subject dispensing plan. In such a case, the following error message appears upon attempting to delete the factor:
