Intentionally Blank Forms in Mentor EDC

• In this system, a permissioned user may intentionally mark a Form, Folder, or Subject record “blank,” even if data has been entered at any level. A permissioned user may also “unmark” blank at permitted levels.
• The Mark Blank button displays only for levels at which the setting is “On.”
• The allowed levels are set during the Study Build. Contact your Sitero representative for additional information.
• If any Forms in a folder have been marked blank but later need to be restored (unmark blank feature),
  use the Promote to Current feature AFTER using the Unmark Blank feature.
  Remember: When using the Promote option, each form MUST BE promoted individually.
