Study Stages

The study workspace has three operational stages: Design, Available (Production), and Locked.

Design Stage

In Design mode, Study Administrators can prepare and structure the study before it goes live:

  • Activate and configure the applications needed for the study
  • Access a central dashboard for build progress and setup shortcuts
  • Manage study definition components such as events, CRFs, sites, users, and rules

Study dashboard in Design mode

Available (Production) Stage

In Available mode, teams move into live study operations and monitoring:

  • Review study statistics and operational KPIs
  • Access overview metrics for Subjects, Events, CRFs, Rules, and Group Classes
  • Navigate quickly to operational apps such as Subjects, Queries, and other study apps
  • Monitor subject-level event/CRF progress via the Subjects area

Going Live

When the study is ready for actual subject enrollment, you Go Live from the study home page. This transitions the study from Design to Production (Available) status.

  1. Open the study home page.

  2. Click the Go Live button.

  3. Choose how to handle any existing test data:

    OptionDescription
    Keep all current dataMove to production without deleting any test data. Safest option if testing data should be preserved.
    Delete subject data onlyRemove all test subjects and their data, but keep study configuration. Use this to start fresh after completing setup validation.
    Delete all dataRemove all test data including configuration snapshots. Full clean slate.
  4. Click I understand and Go Live.

  5. The status badge changes from Design to Production.

⚠️ Go Live is not easily reversible. Once the study enters Production status, all data entry is treated as real clinical data. Ensure all CRFs, rules, events, sites, and randomization settings are fully validated before going live.

Tip: Run a full end-to-end test with a test subject (create → screen → randomize → data entry) before going live. This validates the CRF flow, rules, and randomization all work correctly together.
