Overview
Source Data Verification (SDV) is the process of checking that data entered in the EDC matches source documents (for example, hospital records, lab reports, or other originals). In ClinicalDataS, SDV is delivered as an installed app on the study: you configure what must be verified and who is involved, then monitors and other authorized users work through items from the SDV Events screen (and related subject-level views).
How it fits together
| Area | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Configuration | Define SDV percentage or targeting rules, criteria (forms/fields), recipients, and options such as monitoring visit integration. |
| Events | Study-level worklist of SDV-relevant data, usually grouped by study events; may also support alternate groupings such as View by CRF depending on your environment. |
Changes in configuration affect what appears on Events and which fields require verification in subject records.
Opening SDV
- Sign in to your instance (for example
https://test-2025.clinicaldatas.net). - Open the study you work on.
- Under Installed Apps, choose SDV, then open Events for the worklist, or Setting / configuration for study setup (see Configuration for the exact URL pattern).
If SDV is missing or read-only, your role may not include SDV permissions—contact your study administrator.
