This guide walks through the complete screening-to-enrollment workflow: adding a participant, collecting eConsent, and enrolling them in the study.
Prerequisites
Before starting, ensure the following are in place:
| Requirement | Where to check |
|---|---|
| Study status is Available | Study home → status badge in the top bar |
| At least one eConsent form is Published | Pre-Screening and eConsent → e-Consent Settings → Consent Forms table |
| You have a role with Screening write permissions | System Settings → Roles & Permissions |
eConsent forms in Draft status do not appear in the invitation dialog. Publish the form before inviting participants.
Step 1 — Add a Screening Participant
- Navigate to your study and open Screening from the top navigation.
- Click + Add Screening (top-right of the participant list).

-
Fill in the participant's details:
Field Notes Site Select the site where the participant will be enrolled Screening Code Auto-generated or entered manually, depending on your configuration Full Name Participant's legal name Birthday Format: DD/MM/YYYY Phone Number Include country code (e.g., +1 617 555 0012) Email Used to send the eConsent invitation -
Click Save. The participant is created with a status of Screening.

Step 2 — Send an eConsent Invitation
- Open the participant record (click the participant row in the list).

-
In the Consent Information section, click Invite.
-
In the invitation dialog:
- Document — select the Published consent form (e.g., CARDIO-RELIEF Informed Consent v1.0 (English)).
- Send invitation — set to Yes to dispatch the invitation email immediately.
tipThe Send invitation toggle is disabled until a document is selected. Select the document first.
-
Click Send. The Consent Status updates to Invited and the Send invitation field shows Sent.
Step 3 — Sign the Consent Form
The participant (or an authorized staff member on their behalf) signs the consent form. Staff can access the form directly from the participant record.
- In the participant record, click View consent next to the consent form.
- The consent form opens showing the full ICF text. Scroll to the Subject Signature section at the bottom.

-
Fill in the three required fields:
Field Notes Date Select the date the consent is being signed Full Name Participant's full legal name Signature Draw the signature in the canvas area using mouse or touch input -
Once all three fields are complete, the form submits automatically (no separate Submit button is required — the system processes the signature on completion).


The consent status updates to Consented, and the following details are recorded:
- Consented on — timestamp when the form was submitted
- Consent signed on — the date entered in the Signature section
- Signature method — Electronic
Step 4 — Enroll the Participant
After the consent is signed, the participant can be enrolled in the study.
- Return to the participant record (use the breadcrumb: Screening / [Participant ID]).
- Click Enroll in the top action bar.
- In the Add Subject dialog:
- Site — pre-filled from the screening record (read-only).
- Treatment Arm — select the appropriate arm from the dropdown (e.g., CardioRelief CRF-101 or Placebo).
- Click Submit.
The participant status updates to Enrolled and a Participant ID is assigned (e.g., CR-1).


If the consent form has not been signed, the enrollment attempt will fail with the message "Screening subject is not consented". Complete Step 3 before enrolling.
