Inactive Studies

When incremental import is disabled for a Study, the Study will be made Inactive (formerly known as Archived) in CDB. Studies can also be inactivated from the Studies list. Jobs that refresh Review Listings, the Clean Patient Tracker, and process the Direct Data API package for the Study will be stopped with inactivation.
