After the participant and any additional signatories sign and submit the eConsent form in MyVeeva for Patients, the signed form is uploaded to SiteVault and routed for eSignature (countersignature) to be completed by a Site Administrator or Staff that is assigned to the study team. Once the eSignature is applied, the status will update to Current.

When the countersignature is complete, the PDF files in SiteVault and MyVeeva for Patients update to include the electronic countersignature on the last page. All countersignatures completed within SiteVault are captured on the Participant’s Signatures tab.

If a task is assigned, the approver can follow the task links. To countersign without a task link, complete the following steps:

1. Navigate to Studies.
2. Select a study.
3. Select the Participants tab.
4. Select a participant.
5. Select the Consent Forms tab.
6. Select Countersign on the relevant consent form.
7. Follow the prompts to complete.
