# The freezing and locking icons

The InForm application combines the following multiple states into a single state for the icon:

- Individual form states into a state for the visit.
- Individual repeating form instance states into one state for the repeating form as a whole.

  For example, if visit Week1 has a repeating Vital Signs form with 10 instances, those ten instances are combined into a single state to show in the Time and Events Schedule and in the form selection list.

When you freeze or lock a form or case report book, a snowflake icon () or a padlock icon () appears next to the CRF or case report book status icons on the Case Report Books page, Time and Events Schedule, Source Verification Listing, and Required Signatures page.

- If a form or case report book is both frozen and locked, only the locked icon appears. However, the hover Help describes both the frozen and locked status.

The InForm application applies this behavior whether your study uses the status icons or the traffic light icons, and whether you are viewing the Visit or Forms view on the Time and Events Schedule page.

- The visit-level frozen, locked, and verified status appear only if all the forms in a visit are frozen, locked, or verified.
- When a visit is both frozen and locked, only the locked icon appears. However, the hover Help shows both frozen and locked.
- A combined state is Locked only if every individual state being combined is Locked.
- A combined state is Frozen only if every individual state being combined is Frozen.
- A combined state is Verified only if every individual state being combined is Verified.
