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.

- In the repository, use 1 to spot visits with an open query.
- Use 2 to open the query list directly from the repository.

- Use 1 to filter query status.
- Use 2 to review the available queries.
Your Main Tasks
Open a Query
If the issue blocks your assessment, open a query from the viewer.

- Use 1 to choose the recipient.
- Use 2 to enter the query description.
- Click Send.
Reply to a Query

- Use 1 to open the reply action for the relevant query.
- Use 2 to review the existing query conversation.
- Use 3 to enter your response and click Send.
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?.
