Creating an Event

Once an appropriate event type has been created, specific events can be planned using that event type. Events that have been created can be updated at any time by the eTMF team to reflect the latest content. Each event will show with its own eTMF Health measurement at the study, country, and site levels.

Events can be created using the following steps:

  1. Access the Events module. Any previously created events should be displayed in the window.
  2. Click on the “Add” button in the menu bar above the list of events. The “New Event” window will open.
  3. Using the Category field, indicate whether the event being planned is a Study, Country, or Site level event.
  4. Choose the Event Type from the dropdown menu.
  5. Give the event a name and fill out any other fields as desired.
    1. The planned date field will be critical to tracking the timeliness of event document submissions.
    2. The Due Date Period should be automatically populated based on the value entered during the creation of the Event Type.
    3. The Status field can be used to indicate whether an event is being planned or has already been completed. Most events will be created with a status of “Planned.”
  6. Press “Next”
  7. The next screen allows the user to confirm whether all required document types for this event are displayed. The list will be populated based on the values chosen during the creation of the Event Type.
    • If another document type is required, the user can press the “Add” button in the menu bar above the right panel. This will open the “Add Required Document Types” window.
      • Use the Search bar or manually drill down in the folder structure to locate the required document type and press “Add”.
  8. Once all required document types have been added to the event, press “Finish” to complete the event creation process. The event will be displayed in the list of created events.
