Job management

Jobs are automated processes that can be set up to perform various tasks in the EDC application on your behalf, for instance, regularly extract data from various reports and land it to the external server of your choosing. Instead of manually triggering such tasks, you can create and schedule jobs for task execution. Thus, you can save your time and effort and minimize the risks of possible human error.

Since human interaction is minimized, for monitoring and control purposes, alerts are configured to be sent to the respective recipients about the job execution. In EDC, you can configure alerts and associate them with jobs to accommodate them to your business scenario.

In this section, you can learn how to do the following:

  1. Create data extraction jobs: to configure system tasks for data extraction and select the relevant alerts based on the type of extracted data, such as raw data, listings, eDiary data, metadata, and more.

  2. Configure alerts: to notify the sponsors and their chosen recipients on the data extraction jobs execution.
