It is important to ensure ALL portions of the study are working as intended, including (but not limited to) questions, display logic, stage transitions, etc. PRIOR to starting live data collection. Any changes made after the study starts live data collection may interfere with study behaviors including but not limited to: Changing a variable name may cause errors in Calculated Field questions or cause display/end formula logic to no longer function correctly if the name is not updated in their respective fields. Adding/Removing/Editing questions, assessments, components, or stages may affect previously collected data. Changes made in the EDC may not reflect on participant phones if they do not have a stable Wi-Fi or data connection for syncing, affecting data collection. Renaming questions, assessments, components, or stages will change their respective names in future reports and may conflict with previously generated reports.
