Delete Subject Attribute Fields
Subject attribute fields can be removed if they have not had any data entered for them through the Subjects Manager or data entry. If a field has data entered, but is no longer needed for future subject entries, it can be set to inactive by editing the Is Active property. A field that is set to Inactive will not be displayed on tables or forms that are used to enter subject data.
To delete a subject attribute field:
- Open the Subject Attributes editor for the desired study.
- Select the field to be removed from the tree in the editor.
- Select Delete Field from the editor toolbar. The row will then be deleted.
