  3. Descriptions are displayed for all folders and documents as they are selected.
  4. In addition to selecting folders, filters are provided to assist in locating documents.
    • The eBinder Search bar (located above eBinder table) is available to locate documents in the currently selected folder.
    • Use filters to locate documents related to a specific organization, participant, or person.

Permissions

  • Staff users have the “working view,” which includes document versions in the Draft state. This view helps to identify documents requiring attention.
  • External users are limited to the “inspection view,” displaying only the approved and effective documents for the selected study.
  • Site Viewer users can view documents on the Approval Needed tab, but do not have access to approve.
