Close query
In the context of CRF design, a query refers to a formal request or notification raised by the study team regarding a specific data-related concern or discrepancy. In the Study Designer application, while the study team configures the forms, if they encounter inconsistencies or data-related questions, they can create queries to draw attention to these issues and seek clarification or resolution from fellow team members or a sponsor.
If you have been assigned to a query, it means that you need to address an issue pertaining to a specific form, question, and so on. Once you have resolved the indicated discrepancies, the query can be closed permanently.
