Document Tracking and Storage

In the Document Tracking and Storage module, the administrator sets the defaults for the document type. You determine the dates that will appear when the document is added to the project and the location that a document will be placed, which includes 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).

 

If a document will be used for a subject's informed consent, then the Is Informed Consent check box must be checked. For more information on setting up documents for Informed Consents, click the link for Multiple Informed Consent Forms.

 

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

 

Clicking Save returns you to the Document Types page.
