    Freund, Jeremy (NIH/NCI) [C] Under DT4 Trial exclusions, are you saying for step 2 that this random window opens stating "To enter a dt4 trial exclusion, enter a dt4 trial exclusion comment" and the CTRO will have to close this window each time?  Why does this window populate, as it seems unnecessary.  Also, why is it "dt4" and not "DT4?"  If the window has to remain, it needs updated to reflect "DT4."

      Discussed with Matt, pop up will be removed

    Freund, Jeremy (NIH/NCI) [C] Under Deleting a Trial Exclusion:  why does the message read "update succeeded" vs "update successful," as I believe the message usually states?

      After reviewing the code, the standard message for updates is 'Record Updated', we will change this accordingly.
