3rd July 2021

Siteline underwent a software upgrade on the 3rd of July 2021. There was a brief disruption to the service however, this was scheduled on a Saturday to avoid users being affected. In this release, several new features were added and known issues from previous release were rectified.

• Tags - Departments can now create tags to categorise their projects. This can be used to filter the output when running a report.
• Documents - Controlled documents are compiled in Studyline during Trust management approval. Siteline’s controlled documents do not replace your investigator site/master file, but allow you to see the generic documents reviewed by R&D when your project or amendment was approved. Site administrators can enable the document visibility for older projects (prior to this release) by editing the project configuration. Study documentation are grouped into following categories. All categories are visible to site administrators while site users can only see local documents folder.
  • Local documents - Site administrators can upload study/team specific documentation (e.g., study flowchart, CRFs) into this folder. Site users can view them in 'read only' format.
  • Current controlled documents - Site administrators can view current versions of study documentation reviewed by R&D in read only format after implementing each study amendment. This folder is not visible to site user.
  • All controlled documents - Site administrators can view all study documentation with their version changes and respective amendments in read only format. This folder is not visible to site user.
• Implement amendments - Site administrators can now record the actual date of implementation locally by clicking on the relevant amendment after R&D approval. Doing this will update the documentation in the 'Current controlled documents' folder to the latest approved version.
• Participant data collected by default - Recruiting departments can choose which data items they wish to collect for participants in a project. The settings define the default set of data items collected for a new project. Once a project has been created, the list of collected items can be modified.
