With this feature, when you add and activate a user on a study as a study team assignment with the role of Principal Investigator, the Principal Investigator field on the study is automatically updated to that PI.

User Administration Enhancements

This release includes the following updates to managing user access and permissions in SiteVault:

  • When you update a user’s status to Inactive, the user is inactivated for all sites they are assigned to.

See the Managing Users, System Roles, and Add-on Permissions page for more information.

Connected Studies

Identifying Sponsor-Provided Templates

Identifying sponsor-provided templates

When a study document is received from a sponsor or CRO on a connected study, you can now decide whether to approve the document as a sponsor-provided template. If approved as a template, SiteVault prepends [Sponsor Template] to the name of the document, and you can make copies of the document to edit as needed. This ensures that any copies are permanently linked to the original template document.

This option to designate a received document as a sponsor-provided template is available on the following document types when in the Received from Sponsor/CRO state:

  • Advertisement for Recruitment
  • Diary (blank)
  • Financial Disclosure Form
  • Informed Consent Form (blank)
  • IP Accountability
  • IP Quality Complaint
  • Participant Materials - Other
  • Participant Questionnaire (blank)
  • Participant Information Sheet
  • Study Participation Card

See the help for Identifying Sponsor-Provided Templates for more information.

Working With Document Templates

Create Draft from Original Document action

This feature makes it easier to manage template documents such as informed consent forms and financial disclosure forms. After you make a copy of a template, a new Create Draft from Original Document action is available in the All Actions menu of the copied document. If the source document template is updated, you can select the action to update the copied document to the new template version.

See the help for Working With Document Templates for more information.

Products in Connected Study Invitations

When reviewing a Connected Study Invitation, you are now prompted to reconcile the products on the study. This enables you to choose whether to merge the study invitation product with an existing product in your SiteVault or to create a new product if it doesn’t already exist.

See the Accepting Study Invitations page for more information.

Regulatory Document Request Enhancements

With this release, you can sort, search, and paginate the document sections of the Regulatory Document Requests page. Additionally, SiteVault automatically closes the Regulatory Document Request task after you complete the last item in the Documents to Return section.

See the Managing Regulatory Documents Requests page for more information.

Exchangeable Organization Profile Document Update

With this feature, SiteVault no longer automatically transfers profile documents for central labs or central IRB/IECs to a sponsor or CRO’s vault.
