Submitted Data

Use Submitted Data to check whether your study has been submitted, reviewed, corrected, or released.

Tracking Your Study

1. Open Submitted Data from the IMDA sidebar.
2. Review the table of submitted files for the selected project and study.
3. Check the Status column for each file.
4. A status of OK means the file was validated and submitted successfully.
5. If any expected file is missing or does not show OK, return to Validate Files and validate again.

Status	Meaning	Action Required
OK	File was validated and submitted successfully.	No action needed for that file.
Unmapped	File is uploaded but not fully mapped or validated.	Go back to Validate Files, check file names and mapping, then validate again.
Missing file	Expected file is not visible in Submitted Data.	Check the FTP upload folder and upload the file again if needed.
