Site Onboarding Methods

Self-Registration

Sites discover and register for your study independently:
  1. Study team enables self-registration with a PIN code
  2. Sites access the registration page and enter the PIN
  3. Sites complete capability/feasibility surveys
  4. Study team reviews and approves or rejects
  5. Approved sites proceed with onboarding workflows
Self-registration is ideal for multi-site studies where you want to assess site capabilities before commitment.

Manual Registration

Study team creates sites directly:
  1. Study team adds site with basic information
  2. Site personnel are invited directly
  3. Onboarding workflows are assigned as needed
Manual registration is faster but skips capability assessment.

Site Information

Each site record includes:
CategoryInformation
IdentityName, identifier, location
ContactsOfficial, shipping, and personnel contacts
