Forward/Return submission setting route

In PV, before you run the ICSR report generation or ICSR submission function, you need to configure submission setting information, such as the organization, type of data, contacts, and other details. Later, when running those activities, you select the submission destination, and the configured info appears in submission packages such as XML, MedWatch 3500A, and CIOMS-1.

To ensure accurate configuration, the PV system provides an option to establish the review and approval process. Each approval process step is assigned to dedicated personnel and accomplished by forwarding or returning routes. The submission setting is created with the Draft status and an authorized user or creator forwards the route to Ready for Review. Once the assigned user reviews and validates changes, they forward the route to Approved.

Once the submission setting is approved, it cannot be edited. However, if some eligible changes are required, the authorized user can return the route to roll back to the Draft status and allow for the edits. Once done, the review process is repeated to validate the changes until the status becomes Approved.

Important

The workflow of the submission setting review and approval process can be customarily configured by the EDETEK administrator according to the sponsor's requirements.

To forward or return the submission setting route
  1. In the PV application header, select the CONFIGURATION tab.

  2. On the page that opens, in the left pane, select the Submission Setting subtab.

    Tip

    From the workspace toolbar, use the Search Submission Destination filter to facilitate the location of the needed record.

  4. On the submission setting page that opens, from the workspace toolbar, select one of the following options:

    • Forward forward_route_icon.png: to upgrade the submission setting to the next available status, for instance, from Draft to Ready for Review. This might be done to send the submission setting record for review or approval.

    • Return return_route_icon.png: to retreat the submission setting to the previously available status, for instance, from Approved to Draft. This might be done to make the submission setting record available for edits and reinitialize the review and approval process.
