Add external system account
An external system is referred to as an application, platform, or service that interacts with the eClinical system to provide specialized facilities such as data exchange to improve the workflows of eClinical trials. The external system needs to be connected with the eClinical system for communication and exchange of data flow. To connect the external system to an eClinical system, the administrators need to establish an account.
