Summary

This article covers how to access and configure study deviations.


Table of Contents


Deviations for the study are managed through the Deviation form, one of many Configurable Forms. Deviation Approval transitions are used to progress deviations through the approval workflow, as configured by the study team.

Users do not need full access to a study to access Deviations. If a user has restricted access at the country or site level, they will be able to view Deviations at their access level.

The Study Form contains a Select Study Workflows button, Within this tool, the study staff can select which deviation approval workflow should be used on the current study.
