Overview of setting up a connection

The CIS software uses synchronization to update clinical data or metadata between the InForm database and the Clintrial database.

To enable synchronization, you define a synchronization connection from an InForm study to a study protocol within a target Clintrial database instance addressable by the CIS machine.

If the target protocol does not exists in the Clintrial library, the CIS software creates it. Otherwise, the CIS software updates the existing protocol with metadata or clinical data synchronized from the InForm study.
