Site Visit

The Site Visit module allows the user the ability to add a single Site Visit record, indicate specifics about the visit, such as the type of Visit Category (Clinical, Audit, etc.) and the Visit Type (Pre-study, Interim, etc.), and determine if this site visit report will be a Manual or Integrated Report (see instructions below).

 

When adding a site visit and clicking save, you can enter additional information on the Attendees, Site Visit Report, Custom Fields (if defined), and Attachments tabs. Clicking save again, you will be returned to the Site Visits page and the site visit will appear on the Contact Calendar.
