Execute integration configuration manually
In eTMF, you can configure an integration with a particular external server preconfigured for your study in the ADMIN app, thus, enabling the system to pull external files automatically on a regular schedule and land them in your desired directory of file management or essential documents. Such automation simplifies cooperation with vendors and reduces the risk of human error compared to manual file extraction and upload.
All the integrations in the Active status are executed on their preconfigured schedule serving the automation purpose. However, there is also the manual execution option that becomes helpful when you need to extract files from the vendor's server immediately, for instance, for auditing purposes, or else.
Important
You cannot execute inactive integrations, activate the configuration to run the file extraction for it.
