Modifying visits

Visit information is modified or removed on the Specimen Management page.

About this task

You may need to modify a visit after it is created to correct an entry error (for example, using the incorrect clinic). If the visit was added in error, you can also remove it.

Procedure

  1. Click Specimen Management > Available Specimens from the LDMS menu bar.
  2. Find the participant with the visit to be modified.
    Use filters from the left side of the screen to narrow down the participants that are displayed.
  3. Select the protocol/ID2 associated with the visit from the [Protocol] box.
    The label for the [Protocol] box will depend on the project. Common labels are “study” and “protocol”.
  4. To modify the visit:
    1. Click the Edit button to the right of the visit.
      The Edit Visit window will open.
    2. Modify the visit information as needed.
      If a primary specimen has already been entered for the visit, it will be listed along with the visit information.
    3. Click the Save button.
  5. To remove the visit, select Delete from the Edit menu to the right of the visit.
    In order to remove the visit, there must be no primary specimens added to it. If you want to remove a visit without deleting the primary specimens, you can co-enroll the primary specimen. This will allow you to associate the specimen with another visit.
