When a subject/visit/eForm contains questions with differing statuses, the following hierarchy applies:
Warning
OK Warning
Missing
OK
Not Available
For example, if an eForm contains questions with the statuses 'Warning' and 'Missing', it will always be represented by the 'Warning' icon as this has the highest priority.
When a subject/visit/eForm contains questions with DCRs of differing statuses, the following hierarchy applies:
Raised
Responded
Closed
For example, if an eForm contains questions with the DCR statuses 'Responded' and 'Closed', it will always be represented by the 'Responded' icon as this has the highest priority.
When a subject/visit/eForm contains questions with SDVs of differing statuses, the following hierarchy applies:
Queried
Planned
Done
For example, if an eForm contains questions with the SDV statuses 'Planned' and 'Queried', it will always be represented by the 'Queried' icon as this has the highest priority.
The status of a subject who has no data entered may sometimes be referred to as 'Requested' although there is no icon for this.
A subject's status is only set to 'OK' if all visits are complete. If any visit contains a non-repeating eForm which is blank, the subject status will be 'Missing' even if all other eForms have status 'OK'.
There are no icons for the clinical coding statuses.
