View placeholder details

In eTMF, placeholders (also known as "planned documents") are folders or containers that store study documents and records planned to be collected during a clinical trial. With these documents and records, you can evaluate the clinical trial conduct, the integrity and quality of trial data, and compliance of the investigator, sponsor, and monitor with the standards of Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and with all applicable regulatory requirements (ICH Guideline for GCP, E6, Section 8).

At any time, you can view the details of a placeholder, namely, the associated file name, its document ID, version, and so on.

To change the placeholder country
  1. In the eTMF application header, select the TMF tab.

  2. On the page that opens, in the left pane, select the Study List subtab.

  3. In the Study List table, select the needed study name.
