Timing of study book autocreation
After generating a complete set of XML definitions for the study books of a protocol, the CIS software creates the study books and their components.
Study book autocreation can occur:
- When a user requests study book autocreation by clicking the Create Study Books button on the Actions tab of the CIS Synchronizations page in the CIS Administration application.
- When the CIS software detects that autocreation is necessary. The CIS software determines that autocreation is needed if it processes any of the following types of transactions from the InForm software:
- STUDYVERSION XML definitions.
- Data mappings.
- Any InForm metadata that causes an autogenerated codelist to be attached to a Clintrial item. Examples are metadata definitions for radio controls and dropdown lists.
The CIS software does not autocreate study books if any of the following are true:
- The protocol is closed for revision or is locked.
- The synchronization connection is not defined to autocreate study books.
