Revalidating subjects

You can carry out basic revalidation of single or multiple subjects from the DE/DR module but for anything more complex, it is better to use the Batch Validation module. More info

What is validation?

Questions are automatically validated every time that an eForm is opened by a user with the Change Data permission and every time that an eForm is saved. Any question validation conditions and 'collect if' conditions are run, and all derived values are calculated. All changes are saved to the database, just as if you had opened and saved each eForm.

 

Revalidation allows you to run validation on all or selected eForms for a subject or group of subjects without having to open each individual subject.

 

The Batch Validation option on the Tools menu is only available when the full Subject List is open (accessed via the Subject List tool bar button/menu option or via the search panel). It is not available when the schedule is open for a subject.

Revalidating multiple subjects

Please note that this option will revalidate all subjects displayed on the current page only and not any subjects on further pages. You need the 'Access Batch Validation' permission to revalidate multiple subjects.

 

  1. Open the full Subject List or the Data Browser. More info

  2. Select Tools > Batch Validation.

  3. Specify the type of revalidation report that you wish to run. More info

  4. Click Revalidate and click OK to confirm.

  5. To cancel the revalidation during the process, click Cancel. Revalidation will be completed for the current subject and then the process will stop.

  6. The revalidation report is displayed and if you have chosen to save changes, they will be saved to the database.

  7. Click Save As... to save the report as a .txt file to a specified location.
