• Migration of patient data must be defined per study center.
• One study center can only be assigned to one active CRF version.
• Depending on the updates or changes that are made between two CRF versions, a migration of a study center may have consequences to the availability of you study data and the activation/closure of system edit checks.

If the centers you had selected for this CRF version already contained patients and data from a previous version, this date will now be migrated into the next version. Depending on the number of sites and the number of data per site, this process can take up minutes to several hours.

The displayed window will indicate the progress of migration until it is completed.

Upon completion of migration, you may click the ‘Next’ button.
