Delete lab

For the EDC system to know how to complete the data in the lab result case report forms (CRFs), you need to define a lab by mapping the domains from which the data should be taken to each field of the CRF. Thus, when the test results are entered in a CRF related to this lab, the EDC application can automatically populate the respective data and estimate the normal ranges.

In EDC, you can delete a lab that you no longer need for your study to keep the labs' list up-to-date.

To delete a lab
  1. In the EDC application header, select the STUDY INFO tab.

  2. In the left pane, select the Lab > Lab Define subtab.
