Document Tracking and Storage

In the Document Tracking and Storage module, the administrator sets the defaults for the document type on several parameters including document storage in the CTMS database, a link to a network copy (only available when CTMS is hosted on servers in your own network), or SharePoint (see description for Default Source in the table below):

Additional information is available on the Document Type, Project Defaults, Countries, Staff Roles and Trial Master Files tabs.

Clicking returns you to the Document Types page.
