Close 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.

If you have been assigned to a comment, 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 comment can be closed permanently.

To close a comment
  1. In the Study Designer application header, select the CRF DESIGN tab.

  2. In the toolbar, select the latest draft CRF version marked with the respective unlock symbol unlocked_icon_purple.png, otherwise, you cannot perform any actions.
