For each record, the system identifies which of the imported trials require acknowledgement (in the Acknowledgement [Ack.] Pending? column) and which trials have been acknowledged (in the Ack. Performed? column). The system also indicates the type of acknowledgement (either Administrative, Scientific, or Admin and Scientific) pending or performed. 

The first figure below shows a ClinicalTrials.gov trial that has been updated and now requires Scientific acknowledgement. Admin acknowledgement already has been performed.

The second figure below shows the same trial after Scientific acknowledgement was performed.
