Collaborative Workspace

Collaborative Workspace is a repository for project management-related documents; some of the documents in this room will be moved to the eTMF room. Collaborative workspace has a reference to a study room

The Trial Interactive Collaborate solution, also known as Shared Workspace, is a Clinical Collaborative Workspace Solution for clinical teams to provide Sponsors, CROs, and Sites a place to share and author documentation to be used in the Clinical Trial and ultimately archived in the eTMF.

An integral part of TI Collaborate, TI Collaborative Authoring will provide end-users the capability of directly editing MS Word, Excel, and Power point documents in the browser, and allowing multiple authors to simultaneously work on a document, or components of a document, at the same time, much like Google Docs. Reviewers can annotate the document with responses and comment threads as well as integrated online chat. No local software installation is necessary. Using Edit Online, authors also have the ability to instantly open MS Office documents within their native editors and save them seamlessly back to the Shared Workspace.

There are two types of rooms associated with Collaborative Workspace

  1. TI Docs
  2. TI Collaborate

TI Docs and TI Collaborate both have the ability to edit the documents online. TI Collaborate acts as Content management tool that is linked to the TMF . TI Collaborate asks 'Is this a TMF document?' while publishing the documents. With TI Collaborate the users can also publish the documents to any other room that is not associated to Collaborative Workspace.

While TI Docs doesn't have any link to TMF, nor it can publish the same to any other room. However, the documents can be copied to other rooms.
