Announcements

Announcements can be displayed on your User Home page and on Study Home pages.

Announcements are an effective way to communicate system-wide and study-wide messages such as:

  • Notice of upcoming audits, sponsor visits and study events
  • Reminders of updates to processes and required training
  • Guidance to direct work towards specific studies, sites or milestones

On a Study Home page, the top-center area can be toggled to display Study Announcements or My Study Notes. If toggled to display study announcements, the area shows all announcements related to that study only.

On User Home pages, the Announcements area shows all system-wide announcements, as well as the study-specific announcements for your studies.
