Transcript:

• There are several important indicators to which you might want to pay attention when monitoring a study
• Data validations are programmed by the study admin at the beginning of the study.
• If the entered data in the study or reports meets a certain condition, a message will appear indicating this next to the affected field
• In case of exclusion messages, further navigation between steps will be prevented and a pop-up will appear indicating this
• While navigating through the study or report forms, if a form was signed or locked, there will be banners indicating it at the top
• The signature, lock and SDV icons will also be displayed next to the step name in the step navigator to the left
• You might also notice a text bubble in certain fields, this indicates an added comment
• Comments are mandatory when making changes to a signed or verified form or when changing a field’s value
• So all fields with such changes will have an associated comment. These cannot be modified or deleted.
• When a query is present for a field, the query icon will be shown next to the field
• You can see the indicators in the view by phases or steps
• A lock icon indicates a locked phase or step
• An SDV icon indicates a step with source data verification
• A question mark icon indicates the presence of open queries that are yet to be closed
• This icon with pen and paper indicates a signed phase or step
• Exclusion icon will also appear in the view by phases/steps
• A speech bubble indicates that there is at least one comment
• This was an overview of the monitoring indicators in Castor EDC
• In the next video lessons we will dig deeper into each indicator
