eRAM: V2 Protocol Workspace Reference / ITS Documentation

Overview

The Protocol workspace is the home page for applications and protocols. From the workspace you can view application/protocol details, view the current state of the application/protocol, and complete necessary activities on the application/protocol.

The protocol workspace can be accessed by individuals attached to the application/protocol, including the Principal Investigator, Lab Personnel, other Personnel and Reviewers. Only the Principal Investigator and those with Edit rights can edit the application/protocol.

The protocol workspace contains many of the same pages regardless of your role. However, some functions and information on those pages may differ depending on the role. A few pages are role specific, e.g., Reviewer Notes.

The Main protocol page as viewed by the Principal Investigator is used as the example of a protocol workspace in this document.
