Manage data extraction jobs

Jobs are automated processes that can be set up to perform various tasks in the EDC application on your behalf, for instance, regularly extract data from various reports and land it to the external server of your choosing.

In the eClinical system, the Sponsor role is assigned to the user who oversees or pays for a clinical trial and collects and analyzes the data. Before the study goes live, the Sponsor users work closely with the data managers, configuring CRFs and other aspects to make sure everything meets their requirements before giving the green light for the study to go live. In the course of a trial, the Sponsor users make requests for amendments in the system according to a new protocol version, changes in business requirements, or other needs.
