Edit form question

The Study Designer application enables study teams to configure CRFs for clinical trial visits with a variety of tools. There are various form field options such as text fields, checkboxes, dropdown menus, date pickers, and more. You can place these fields on the form canvas, arrange them as needed, and make sure they are associated with the corresponding variables.

When maintaining a form, there can be two different types of questions such as custom ones and variable-oriented questions. The latter is used for data collection purposes while custom questions are added to the form when a clarification or a tip is needed and are not used for data collection. You need to consider this information whenever you edit questions on the form.
