# Subject status and record transfer

Study sponsors develop and maintain their own practices regarding subject status and subject record transfer. When you use the InForm user interface to transfer subjects, the InForm application displays the following subject status information that sponsors can view before they execute the transfer:

- Signature status—The number of required signatures that are missing for the subject.
- Query status—The number of queries that are open for the subject.
- Source verification status—The number of forms that have yet to be source verified for the subject.

Note: While it might be good practice to make sure that all forms for a subject are signed and source verified, and that all queries are resolved before transferring a subject, Oracle acknowledges that each study has different processes and procedures. The InForm application does not prevent transferring a subject with outstanding queries, outstanding required signatures, or forms that are not source verified.
