Configure study reference by type

In PV, the basic information about the study, like its name, timeframe, and such, is automatically pulled from the CTMS application. Nevertheless, there are some manually configurable details. Namely, from the Study Setting tab, you can configure a study reference by type. The essential details of the study configured here, such as the registration information or else, are then referenced by the system when submitting cases pertinent to the study to authorities.

Tip

You can switch between different studies directly from the configuration page with no need to return to the Study Setting table. Simply expand the menu from the toolbar and select the study of your interest.
