In Castor CDMS, the Monitoring module allows monitors to create data queries whenever they identify potential issues or inconsistencies in study field values. You can export these queries either directly from the Queries listing or as part of the Participant Data export.
File types
Queries can be exported from Castor CDMS in the following formats:
- CSV
- Excel
