Modifying a participant

Modify participants on the Specimen Management page.

About this task

A participant may need to be modified to correct an error in the ID1 that was entered, or to add and remove OPIDs as needed.

Procedure

  1. Click Specimen Management from the LDMS menu.
  2. Find the participant to be modified. This can be done by following one of the two sets of steps below:
    • Use filters from the left side of the screen to narrow down the participants that are displayed.
    • Alternatively, click Jump to Participant and enter the appropriate project and participant ID, then click Jump To.
  3. With the participant open in the work area, click the Edit Participant button.
    The Edit Participant window will open.
  4. Modify any participant information as needed.
    Note: Edits made here will change all specimens associated with the participant.
    The Enrollments section of this window was not present when the participant was first created. It lists protocols in which the participant is enrolled, and provides a link to view and modify that enrollment, if needed.
  5. Click the Save button.
    If you modified the participant identifier, LDMS will check to ensure that it does not already exist for another participant.
