Edit query
While working with forms in EDC and finding some inaccurate or missing data, you can create queries for responsible users to address the issues and either correct them or confirm the data's accuracy. A query is a request to fix the encountered discrepancy in the study data.
If needed, you can edit the previously created manual queries to meet new requirements.

In the EDC application header, select the DATA ENTRY tab.

Details
Topic*
Enter the issue on which you are creating the query: point out data discrepancies, ask a question of an addressee, provide the correct data to be updated, or else.
Expected Days*
Enter the number of days for an assignee to resolve the query before it becomes overdue.
If the query is not addressed before the window of days established for resolving it has been exceeded, the query icon changes to Overdue Open Manual Query
.Assigned to*
Expand the dropdown menu to select the user role that you want to address the query. Be very careful when specifying the assignee because only the users of the selected role can view the query in their tasks. Assigning the query to the wrong user role can cause a serious delay or even prevent it from resolution.
The list of available user roles for this field is study-specific and depends on settings made in the ADMIN application.
