With every release, we update the data model to better support evolving needs and new feature functionality. With this release, we’ve added the following components to the Clinical Operations data model. These data model updates are automatically included in all Clinical Operations Vaults, but Admins must make configuration changes to make them available. For information on feature functionality, see What’s New in 20R2.

We have made the following changes in support of Archive TMF:

  • Setting a study to Archived cascades the archived status to the country and site. In previous releases, the status cascaded to site only.
