Study eBinder & Document Library

Learn all about the study eBinder and document library in SiteVault.


Study eBinder

The eBinder default view displays all of the approved and effective documents for your study. The documents are displayed in a hierarchical folder structure. This enables you to view all approved documents for a single study or all documents related to a specific section of a study, for example, all IRB submissions and approvals. External users have access to only the default view, or the “inspectable view” of eBinder. Site users can utilize the Show Drafts toggle switch to easily compare the “working view” of eBinder to the “inspectable view”.

Using the Study eBinder

To get started, navigate to the Documents > eBinder tab and select the study from the Study Selector (if applicable). You can select the column headings to sort the documents by that column, just as you would in the library. Select Edit Columns from the ellipses menu (…) to add or remove columns.

Click a folder to review a description of the expected contents. You can also use the eBinder Quick Reference Card, which lists all document types and their related eBinder section.

Only steady state or major versions (for example, Approved for Use, Current, and so on) of your documents are displayed in the eBinder default view. To include Draft versions in the eBinder view, use the Show Drafts toggle switch. You can also use the Documents > Library tab to view all working and steady-state versions of documents to which you have access.
