View comment list

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.

You can view the entire list of comments that have ever been added or closed for a CRF version of the specific study within a single page. If some comments are still open, you can even manage those comments without the necessity to navigate to them.

To view the list of comments
  1. In the Study Designer application header, select the CRF DESIGN tab.

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