3 About study countries

Tracking study country status

Each study country has a details page where you'll see the information you need to manage and track all the country’s documents and submissions. You can access the study country details page by clicking on a country code or bar in the bar graph on the home page.

Once the country's details page displays, you can optionally "favorite" the country as shown below (blue star to the left of the country name). When you favorite a country, you can use the toggle control on your home page to toggle the country document bar graph display to all countries or favorite countries.

Country status labels display in the persistent header if this option has been enabled for your organization's account. Oracle Site Activate users who have appropriate permissions may edit a country’s status label if necessary.

Country pages include primary tabs that allow you to access distinct views. The tabs display at the upper left of the page. The primary tabs are:

1. Country work – this view is the country page with item activities displayed below the milestone timeline.
2. Dashboard – this view is the site milestone dashboard
3. Notes – this view provides notes functionality. The note form displays to the left and any previously saved notes display to the right.

The image above shows the Country work tab view with the milestones timeline. You can also evaluate site status and milestone progress on the country details page. Click the Dashboard tab for the site milestone dashboard view shown below.

You can set either Country Work (country tab) or Site dashboard as your default view. Use the "Display settings" control at the upper right of the view to select your preferred default.

Details	What you'll find on the country details page
overall country status	If enabled for your organization's account, country status labels display in the persistent header. Preconfigured status labels include: Planning, Submitted, Dropped, Approved, In activation, On hold, Completed/Maintenance, and Closed. When configuring Oracle Site Activate, your organization may have preferred to use alternate display values and those values will display instead. On the site status tab, you'll see the percentage of sites in the country by status (activation, activated, on hold, or dropped).
key milestones	You'll see the baseline planned and actual dates for the milestones your organization tracks. The baseline date is the original date you or another team member estimated that the milestone will be met. Enter a new projected date and it appears as the planned date on the milestone timeline. If you re-plan a date, you are asked to enter a reason. When the activity associated with the milestone is complete, the actual date automatically appears on the timeline.
notes & communications	Each time you or another team member enters a note while completing an activity, that note appears on the Notes tab. You can also enter notes without activities by entering them directly on the tab.
all items	The all items tab lists all of the country's Document, Submission, and Review items.
your activities	This tab lists all of the items for this country that have been assigned to a user with your business role.
sites	Here you'll find a list of sites in the study country. Click the Actions column to view other options available to you depending on your business role permissions (e.g., Remove a site, Export completed documents, etc.) Click the site name to view the site milestone dashboard.
