• Create the Study
  You must create a new study for every new protocol before you can start planning each study.
• Create a Plan
  You can create multiple plans for a given study, as necessary, to determine the most cost-effective or time-efficient approach.
• Choose the User Edit Mode
  ClearTrial provides four edit modes that govern the assumptions you can enter for a plan and the default field values provided.
• Add Your Assumptions
  Once you have selected the template and clicked Ok, ClearTrial displays the Create Plan screen.
• Build a Portfolio
  A portfolio acts as a container to aggregate plans and calculate the total costs for the trials the plans represent.
• Create Templates
  A template is a reusable plan that serves as a starting point. Using a template to create a plan saves time by storing frequently used assumption values and choices.
