Participants sometimes require the support of others to participate in or complete a study. You may need to share documents with these individuals or require them to sign forms on behalf of the participant. To complete these tasks, you can create signatory records to associate with the participant. For more information, see [Create Additional Signatories](/gr/sitevault/econsent/signatories/).
