Copy a study's design

You can create a new study by copying a study's latest approved and active design. This feature helps you create your new study more efficiently by reusing existing content.

Before you begin, there are some caveats and limitations related to copying a study that you should be aware of. For more information, see Considerations when copying a study.
To copy a study's design:
  1. On the Home page, click the Settings icon (Settings icon) and select Copy Study.
  2. In the Copy {StudyID} Study dialog, enter the details for the following fields:

    Note:

    You must enter the Study Title and StudyID each time you perform this task. All other fields (Study Phase, Therapeutic Area, and Open Label / Blinded) contain default values from the existing study, but can be modified.
    Field Description
    Study Title The title of the study.
    Study ID A study ID as specified by the study manager when the study is created(for example, a protocol acronym and protocol number).
    Study Phase A study's phase as indicated by the study manager when the study is created.
    Therapeutic Area Indicates the therapeutic area as specified by the study manager when the study is created.
    Open Label / Blinded Indicates whether the study is an open-label or a blinded study, as specified by the study manager when the study is created.
  3. Click Copy Study.
    A new study tile appears with a progress indicator and message that indicates that the study is being copied.

    Note:

    If the study fails to copy, a system message is displayed. You can either click Cancel to stop the copying process and remove the newly copied study tile from the Home page or click Try Again to attempt to copy the study again.
A new study tile is added to the Home page with the copied study's attributes.

Note:

This task creates the new study. However, the study must be provisioned before it can be moved to Testing or before certain updates can be made.
