Delete lab data file

In the EDC application, instead of entering subject lab results in respective lab test forms of the DATA ENTRY tab and then configuring labs, normal ranges, and other details manually in the system, you can import the lab data from an external file in the XLSX or CSV format.

Sometimes you might need to delete the previously imported lab data file, for instance, if you find that its data is invalid.

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

  2. From the left pane, select Lab > External Lab Data.

  3. In the Import Lab Data table that opens, locate the imported file that you want to delete. Then next to it, from the Action column, select More more_actions_icon.png > Delete trash_can_icon.png.
