Review and approve monitor template

The review and approval of a monitor template is an additional measure to make sure that dedicated personnel reviews and verifies that the template is compliant with protocol requirements and satisfies your study needs. In CTMS, you can specify if the template requires approval when first creating or editing your template.

After you have submitted the monitor template that requires approval, its status remains Auditing until the assignee approves it.

To review and approve a monitor template
  1. In the CTMS application header, select the LIBRARY tab.

  2. On the page that opens, from the left pane, select the Monitor Template subtab.
