Domain

Domains are used to separate groups of projects. There are two Domain Types; Test, which can be used for testing, training, etc., and Production, which is used for your live studies. Users having login permissions to Test and Production will use only one CTMS user license.

 

You can add specific Domains into each Domain Type. For example, CROs can have Client domains and Pharmaceutical Companies can have Therapeutic Area or Department domains. Projects are created under specific domains.

 

Global Contacts and Global Institutions can be made available to all domains or restricted to certain ones. Global Contacts can be given permission at any of these levels as well as permission to access certain Countries or Sites. In addition, you can give users Mixed Access meaning that they have Full Access to certain sites and Read Only access to other sites as well as Restricted Access meaning that they have full access to certain sites and no access to other sites.

 

The Domain tab displays general information about the selected domain.

 

When adding a domain, the administrator decides whether the domain type is for Test or Production purposes and completes the other fields prior to clicking  .  After saving a new domain, the administrator cannot change the domain's type. When editing a domain record, a list of projects for this domain will appear at the bottom of the page.

 

Click next to the desired Project to view or edit the project information.
