Expected and Received Documents Without Matching Study Items

If you have or expect documents, but matching Study Items do not exist, you will need to create Expected Documents and index to proposed Study Items.
To begin, use the Create Expected Docs button in Work Area List or Details view, shown below.

The “Create Expected Documents” screen, shown below, will allow you to create up to 100 Expected Documents at a time.
Be sure not to use this function when Study Items do not exist as considerably more indexing is needed.
