In order to create an alert, you need to specify the exact event that you wish to be alerted of. This is done in two stages; first by creating the type of event and second, by specifying the target, the point in the study that you are interested in. For example, you may wish to be alerted when the status of a DCR is changed from Raised to Responded throughout an entire study. Or you may wish to be alerted when any data is locked on a specific eForm.
Open the Event Management module and log in.
In the Event Definitions area, click New.
Enter a code for the event.
Enter a description of the event.
Select the type of event from the drop down list.
Use the From Status and To Status drop down lists to specify the type of change that you wish to be alerted of.
Click Save.
Existing events can be edited and deleted.
Select an event definition.
In the Event Targets area, click New.
Select a target type from the drop down list.
Either select a study from the drop down list or check the Apply to All Studies box to set the scope of the alert.
Depending on the target type you have selected, the Visit Code, eForm Code and Question Code drop down lists become available for you to select an exact point in the study.
Click Save.
Existing targets can be edited and deleted.
