Data Management Tools: CRF Status Icons and Form Flags

After subject data has been entered into MAESTRO, tools may be employed that will allow for the efficient processing and management of that data.

Form flags and status icons are optional tools used by the study’s sponsor and data management team to manage data stored in MAESTRO.  These color-coded icons and flags are visible from the subject landing page (see Figure 1 below) and within the CRF itself (see Figure 2 below) and may be used to indicate two things:

• the overall status of a CRF (displayed as icons which indicate no data entry, some data entry, data entry complete - see Table 1 below); and

• the condition of individual data points and/or the entire CRF.

Flags available in MAESTRO include: query, signed, monitored, freeze, data review, reportable and locked.  A trial’s sponsor chooses which flags are deployed for use in the clinical trial.  A flag’s function and color coding key are described in Table 2 below: Form Flag Definitions.  Additional details for flags are in the Help sections that follow.

There are several different icons that represent the current status of each form. Below is a picture of the legend.
