# Marking an item as skipped (an item is not applicable, unknown, or not done)

If your study protocol permits, you can skip form items if they meet any of the following criteria:

- The item on the form does not apply to the subject.
- The data is not available.
- The procedure to collect the data for an item was not done and the data was not collected.

To mark an item as skipped:

1. Instead of entering data in the item, click the Comment icon for the item to display the comment page.
2. In the Reason incomplete section, select the reason that best describes why you are leaving the item blank.
3. Click Submit.

   A confirmation dialog box appears.

4. Click OK.
5. Click Return.

   The item reflects the reason selection you made, and the background color of the item is gray, indicating that it is considered complete.
