9 Configuring News

News items are messages that the study sponsor wants to communicate to all, some, or one of its RDC users. For example, the news might be about study protocol, upcoming deadlines, daily reminders, or weekly status.

To define the news items, you use the News Definition for Remote Data Capture form in the RDC Administration application. You can customize the news information according to the current study, site, user, role, or date.

Any user with RDC administrator privileges can customize news content. In addition, you can grant a user the privilege to define news content, but not perform other administrator tasks. Granting others this privilege makes it easy to update daily and site-specific news.
