Make Obsolete and Retire All Items

The eTMF allows a Study Owner to make study items that were activated with incorrect metadata/content or that are no longer needed obsolete. Study items can be made obsolete individually or in bulk.

To make all items in a list obsolete and retire them, access the list view’s Actions menu and select “Make Obsolete and Retire All Items. ” If your list contains more than 50 items, a message is displayed, stating that the action will be performed on the first 50 items. You will need to repeat the action on additional items. Click OK to continue.

The Make Obsolete and Retire All Items screen lists all items within your list that the system is able to obsolete. If any items from the list cannot be obsoleted (e.g., items in the list are not final or you do not have permission to obsolete them), a message is displayed along the top of the screen.

On the Make Obsolete and Retire All Items screen, select a Reason and enter any Comments you might have. Deselect the check box for any study items you do not want to make obsolete. Click Obsolete and Retire Selected. The document status will be updated to Obsolete.
