Move codelist item

In the Study Designer app, each codelist added to the study contains a collection of items (codes) to be used as responses for specific questions in CRFs. You can move existing items within a codelist to ensure that responses within a question follow a specific order, facilitating a logical and intuitive flow for future data entry in EDC.

Important

Before initiating the following procedure, ensure to select the latest unlocked CRF version from the toolbar of the CRF DESIGN tab, otherwise, you cannot add move codelist items. The CRF version remains unlocked until it is submitted to EDC for data entry.

To move a codelist item
  1. In the Study Designer application header, select the CODELIST tab.

Once moved, the position of a code item is updated. You now need to sync the codelist with associated variables so responses can become available in a new order in corresponding forms.
