About Document Workflows and State Changes

Workflows and state changes are used to update document statuses, certify documents as copies, or obtain electronic signatures on documents. Any workflow tasks that are assigned to you are displayed in the My Tasks view in the Home tab.

SiteVault Document Workflows

  • Send for eSignature Approval: Send one or many documents to multiple signatories to approve a record (not PI oversight).
  • Send for Investigator eSignature: Send the document to your study’s principal investigator (PI) for eSignature. See the Document Types Reference Spreadsheet for information on the documents that can be sent for Investigator eSignature.
  • Send for Read and Understood: Send one or more study documents to study team members. Each recipient must confirm they have read and understood each study document.
  • Send for Review: Send one or many documents to colleagues who can provide feedback using the annotation tool.
  • Certify as Copy: Certify the document as a copy. Available during document upload.
  • Delete Annotations: Remove any SiteVault annotations from a document.

State Changes

Note The electronic signature in SiteVault is nonbiometric and requires the application of two distinct components (a user ID and password) and is compliant with the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA's) 21 CFR Part 11 section §11.200 requirement of electronic signatures that are not based upon biometrics.
