Audit Trail in Mentor EDC
The Audit Trail screen displays the history of form and field changes.
- The Mentor EDC Audit Trail displays information for the history of changes made to the subject record. Review the details in the tabbed sections at the bottom of each form.
- All changes made to a form create a record in the EDC System Audit Trail. The Audit Trail stores the changes and reasons for the changes in the database and allows you to look at historical versions of a form. The tab name displays in bold text to indicate there is information on the tab. Click on a tab to display information for your selection.
- Remember: running derivations in batch does not create a new record in the audit trail.
Queries
- The Queries tab allows you to manage (add, edit, answer, accept, requery) and navigate to form queries.
- Monitors and Data Managers issue Reviewer Initiated, Custom and Data Management queries.
- Custom Queries may be configured in your environment and are permissioned separately but function the same as Reviewer Initiated and Data Management Queries with one exception: When this setting is “On,” AND the field data changes, the query is automatically updated to “answered” and the reason is set to “data changed.” When this setting is “Off,” then field data changes DO NOT affect the query.
