Setting up Reasons for Change (RFCs)

During data entry, if a user attempts to change a previously saved response or question status, he can be prompted to select a reason for the change from a predefined list. The study designer is responsible for creating the list of reasons and for specifying which questions require a reason for change.

Creating the list of reasons

Select View > Study Details or click the Study shortcut button located on the tool bar beneath the menus.
Select the Reasons for Change tab. The list of reasons is displayed.
To enter a new reason, click in the blank line and begin typing.
Click OK to save changes or Cancel to abort.

Specifying which questions require a reason for change

This is done in the Question Attributes section of the eForm definition window.

If a question's value or status is automatically changed by MACRO, an automatic RFC will be stored with the response in the question audit trail.
