Data Quality: How to Correct When Forgetting To Use Enter Data As Mode EDA

EDA is important!

When an end user forgets to enter EDA mode before doing data entry on a client, the best practice is to DELETE the data and start over again in the correct EDA provider. EDA is all about giving the right people the right access to the right data. If the correct EDA provider is not used when entering data, the data entered may not be visible to the right people or vice versa!

How to delete client data

If an end user forgot to enter EDA mode and the data has been stored at their default or home provider, just search for, and enter the client record where data was incorrectly entered. If an incorrect EDA project provider was used to create data, EDA to the provider that created the data. To delete the data, the end user must be in the EDA mode for the provider that created the data.

Depending on how much data was entered while in the wrong EDA provider, data may need to be deleted on multiple tabs. Go to the appropriate tab.

 – Client Profile, Entry/Exit, or the Assessments tab are the most common.

Click the history bar to the left of the answer field that needs to be deleted.

The History popup will appear. Click the trash can  to the left of the line with  the incorrect information to delete the line.

Exit the client record – do not Save after deleting the data.

Enter EDA mode for the correct provider and re-enter the client data.
