Add new comment

In the context of CRF design, a comment refers to a note, explanation, or remark added by the study team to provide context, insights, or documentation related to the visit and form configuration. Unlike queries, which primarily focus on data integrity, comments serve to request or provide additional information that may aid in understanding choices that have been made during the configuration process.

To add a new comment

  1. In the Study Designer application header, select the CRF DESIGN tab.

  2. In the toolbar, select the needed CRF version.
