Delete data extraction jobs

Jobs are automated processes that can be set up in EDC to perform various tasks by triggering them manually or by schedule.

However, 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.

Important

To delete the job, you must have the Write permission for the respective job category granted to your user role via ADMIN.
