Delete file uploaded from email

In eTMF, the Files Uploaded by Emails module is the first landing point for all files extracted from the email server. This module also stores the records about such files with their details, even after they are processed and transferred to their destination directories. This allows for traceability and single-source oversight of files for all your studies.

If the file whose status is Pending Review was received via email and is defined as erroneous, obsolete, or no longer needed, you can remove it.

To delete a file uploaded from the email

  1. In the eTMF application header, select the REPORTS tab.

  2. On the page that opens, in the left pane, select Files Uploaded by Emails.
