2 View and change configurations
In Configuration Designer, you can see your organization’s baseline configuration and others that were created based upon that configuration.
Use the procedures detailed in this section to add, change, and delete documents or create a new configuration. You'll also find a procedure to create a Master Configuration Specification report that helps you design and track configurations.
- View available configurations
Access Configuration Designer from the link in the Oracle Site Activate "More" menu. When selected from the menu, Configuration Designer opens in a new browser tab. If you don't see the Configuration Designer option in the More menu, contact your super user to request the appropriate business role permission. - View artifact details
The Artifacts tab is where you can access a configuration's documents, contracts, and submission items and view details for each item like level, lifecycle, etc. - View dependencies and triggers
Some artifacts shouldn't be started until others reach a specified state. On the Dependencies tab, you'll see all artifacts that are prerequisites for others. The grid shows you the prerequisite artifact's name and the required activity (e.g., complete, upload, etc.). You'll also see the successor (downstream) artifact and activity. - View milestones and report categories
You'll find a configuration's defined milestones on the Milestones tab and the activity that, when complete, causes the milestone to be met. On the Categories tab, you'll see a list of categories. - View roles
On the Roles tab, you can view the list of roles to which activities can be assigned. Role names and descriptions reflect those that have been created for your organization's Oracle Site Activate account. - Change configurations
If you have the appropriate business role permission to change configurations in Configuration Designer (instead of view-only permission), you can clone an available (baseline) configuration to create a new one. - Manage lifecycles
Lifecycles define the activities required to process a document and the role(s) study team members must have to perform the activities. - Bulk association and bulk delete
To simplify configuration and management of multiple countries in a configuration, you have the ability to associate and delete Artifacts, Dependencies, and Milestones in bulk. - Master Configuration Specification (MCS) report
Configuration Designer users who create and maintain configurations can export a Master Configuration Specification (MCS), which provides a report of an individual configuration’s components/settings and can be used for compliance and design purposes.
