Study Definition module

 

Deleting a question

When you delete a question, you delete its definition from the study, and the question will be removed from every eForm in which it was being used. You will not be able to use the question again. Note that this is different from removing a question from an eForm, which simply removes the question from that eForm but does not delete the question definition.

To delete a question from a study, you need the 'Delete question' permission

Before you do this, make sure you definitely want to completely delete the question definition and all its occurrences within your study.

To delete all unused questions

It is sometimes convenient to delete the definitions of all the questions that are not being used anywhere. These questions are shown as Unused questions in the Question List.

  1. Select Edit > Delete Unused Questions.

  2. Click Yes to delete the questions, or No to abort. This will delete the question definitions of all your unused questions.

Note: You should not delete a question from a study once that study has been opened for subject data entry.
