Activate/Inactivate attribute template

In the CTMS library, you can manage the status of an attribute template, that is activate or inactivate it. An attribute template incorporates custom attributes—such as status, owner, priority, or custom dates—that can be used across studies in CTMS to capture and manage various study components, including activities, milestones, and other operational elements. Activating a template makes it available for use in studies or workflows, while inactivating it removes it from active use without deleting it—helping maintain a clean and relevant list of available attributes.

To activate or inactivate the attribute template
  1. In the CTMS application header, select the LIBRARY tab.

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