Hi everyone,

If someone mistakenly entered data for several participants in the wrong place, is there an easy way to clear the data from where they were incorrectly entered? I am able to copy the data to the correct location fairly easily but don't know how to delete the data from the wrong location without manually entering each record and doing it that way.

Thanks for your help,
Richard

Not that I know of. If you upload the data as blank it will not overwrite the previously entered data. That only thing I can think of is to download all the records you need and remove the incorrectly entered data. Then you would have to delete the previous records and upload the edited ones. This is likely not faster than doing it manually unless you’re talking about a large amount of data.

 

Best,
