This article introduces the upcoming eCRF Records redesign, part of Release 4.19 planned for the last week of October.
We have redesigned the eCRF record experience to make data collection faster, more reliable, and easier to monitor.
Our objectives with this redesign were to:
Simplify navigation in complex CRFs with clearer layouts and sections
Increase visibility on data status, changes, and outstanding actions
Streamline query management with faster access to open issues
Strengthen monitoring workflows through actions and oversight
By improving the structure and usability of eCRF records, we help your teams reduce time spent on data entry and monitoring, while ensuring stronger compliance with regulatory standards.
Why We Introduced This Change
Clinical trials are becoming more complex, and legacy eCRF layouts often make it difficult to maintain speed, accuracy, and traceability. Based on extensive feedback from Sponsors, CROs, Research Sites and many more, we identified recurring challenges.
The new eCRF records design overcomes these challenges with intuitive navigation, smarter query management, and enhanced monitoring capabilities.
What’s New in the eCRF
Improved Navigation and Layout
New left navigation tree
Quickly move between subjects, visits, and forms with a clear, hierarchical structure that reduces clicks and confusion.
The structure can be collapsed or hidden to help you stay focused on the form. You can also resize it to suit your needs.
Modern, streamlined form design
A cleaner, more intuitive interface with redesigned items for improved visibility and readability.
Inline query management
Queries now appear directly below each field, making it easier to spot and resolve discrepancies without leaving the form.
This reduces errors, saves time, and improves collaboration between site users, CRAs, and data managers.
Persistent monitoring panel
Key monitoring actions (audit trail, freeze, lock, etc.) are always accessible in a sticky right-hand panel, reducing context-switching and keeping essential information where you need it. Additionally, SDV (Source Data Verification), review, lock, and signature banners have been redesigned for better visibility and remain always visible above the form.
Easier Participant Switching
Quickly switch between participants without returning to the participant list. This streamlined navigation helps you move smoothly between records, saving time and improving workflow efficiency.
Enhanced Data Entry Experience
Clearer form structure
Each question is now separated by visual dividers, making forms easier to read and complete.
In addition, all the 20 types of questions have been fully redesigned for a clearer and more modern experience.
Smarter navigation
Updated buttons and visual make it simple to move between forms, quickly identify required questions, and track item statuses.
