Delete unique form
In the Study Designer application, you can design unique forms for study visits. A unique form is a CRF template that serves as a starting point for creating new forms for different visits of the clinical trial. Unique forms are stored in a separate folder under the CRF DESIGN tab and serve as a reusable blueprint for creating other CRFs in the study, cycle, or folder visits.
After adding unique forms to your study, it may occur that some forms need to be deleted due to new protocol requirements or mistakes in the configuration. Bear in mind that before deleting a unique form, you need to remove all of its linked visit forms, otherwise, the system will prohibit such an action.
