Manage Queries

As a Reader, you usually use queries when an issue prevents you from completing the assessment or when you need clarification from QC or the Investigator.

For the shared query mechanics in SliceVault, see Queries in SliceVault.

Where You Normally See Queries

Readers usually track queries from the repository, the query list, or the viewer.

  1. Use 1 to open the reply action for the relevant query.
  2. Use 2 to review the existing query conversation.

Readers usually cannot close the query themselves. If the issue is resolved, the Quality Control Manager or project team normally closes it.

If a query is resolved but the visit still cannot be finalized, see Why can’t I complete the assessment?.
