Activate/Inactivate ICF tracking record

To track ICF completion for subjects of your study, you need to add ICF tracking records to your log and complete the forms as per the selected ICF tracking log template.

However, only active records can be completed and otherwise maintained in the system. Thus, you can inactivate any record if you no longer need it but do not want to permanently delete it from the system. You also need to inactivate a record before deleting it, as only inactive records can be removed from the system.

To activate or inactivate an ICF tracking record

  1. Access the study management page in one of the following ways:

    • In the CTMS application header, select the DASHBOARD tab and then select the study dashboard of your interest.
