Review ICF tracking log template version history

ICF tracking log is a functionality used to track the distribution, collection, and status of Informed Consent Forms (ICFs) from participants in the trial. It is a management tool that ensures proper documentation and completion of all steps related to informed consent throughout the trial process.

To configure proper tracking of ICF completion, you need to select one of the previously configured ICF tracking log templates to associate it with your study.

However, each time a new version of the ICF tracking template is created in CTMS and upgraded for the study, the system record is made to maintain traceability and compliance. You can track all the version upgrades via Version Change History.

To review the ICF tracking log template version history

  1. Access the study management page in one of the following ways:

    • In the CTMS application header, select the DASHBOARD tab and then select the study dashboard of your interest.
