| Email Log Center | Centralized tracking, viewing, and resending of all system notification emails. |
| Performance Optimization | Faster load times via React lazy/Suspense and Webpack compilation improvements. |
Key Updates
- Matrix Layouts: Introduced a new, highly responsive "Matrix" layout system across the platform. This includes dedicated matrix views for Datasets, Casebooks, IMP Lot Numbers, and Products, featuring unified pagination, advanced filtering, and mobile-friendly action menus.
- User Management & Security: Upgraded the user management interface to clearly display "locked" user statuses. Migrated all user role modals (Enable/Disable 2FA, Unlock, Restore) to dedicated, streamlined action components for a cleaner administrative experience.
- Email Log Center: System Administrators can now access a dedicated Email Log page to view detailed message content (with HTML parsing), filter by date ranges, and easily resend failed or bounced emails.
- Performance Optimization: Migrated code-splitting to native React
lazy/Suspensewith error boundaries and optimized Webpack configurations, resulting in noticeably faster initial load and compilation times.
🎲 November 2025: Advanced Randomization & Mobile UX
| Area | What it is for |
|---|---|
| Advanced Randomization | Support for Stratification, Permuted Block Design (PBD), and Minimization algorithms. |
| Mobile Responsiveness | Optimized forms, tables, and navigation for seamless use on smartphones and tablets. |
Key Updates
- Advanced Randomization: Significantly expanded randomization configuration capabilities. Study builders can now configure Stratification, Permuted Block Design (PBD), Minimization, and "Big Stick" design settings. The system also includes automated checks to ensure algorithmic validity before generation.
- Mobile Responsiveness: Extensive UI polish for mobile devices. This includes auto-handling mobile layouts for description components, fixing search bar widths in mobile filters, and ensuring all critical action buttons are easily accessible on smaller screens.
🎯 October 2025: Randomization Configuration & SDV Enhancements
| Area | What it is for |
|---|---|
| Randomization Setup | Intuitive configuration for sample sizes, display questions, and basic study parameters. |
| Source Data Verification (SDV) | Improved load configurations and stricter permission checks for data verification. |
Key Updates
- Randomization Setup: Added new configuration panels allowing users to define Sample Sizes, configure "Display Questions" for randomization forms, and set up basic study information with improved validation rules.
- Source Data Verification (SDV): Enhanced the SDV module with better load configuration handling and refined permission checks to ensure only authorized personnel can perform verification actions.
📱 May – April 2025: Subject Workflows & Mobile Webview
| Area | What it is for |
|---|---|
| Subject Detail Matrix | Improved layout and status rendering for subject visit and CRF tracking. |
| Mobile Webview | Dedicated updates for the mobile application environment. |
| Screening Attachments | Integrated file upload and management directly within the Screening module. |
Key Updates
- Subject Detail Matrix: Refined the Visit and CRF matrix view mode, fixing layout issues, merging duplicate status tags, and ensuring accurate color-coding for event and CRF statuses.
- Mobile Webview: Deployed specific updates to the mobile webview environment, ensuring smoother study switching, profile management, and error handling (e.g., dedicated 401 unauthorized pages) for mobile users.
- Screening Attachments: Moved the attachments section directly into the Screening Detail page, allowing coordinators to manage screening-related documents without navigating away from the subject's context.
📈 March 2025: Randomization Analytics & System Settings
| Area | What it is for |
|---|---|
| Randomization Analytics | Export capabilities, Futility Analysis, and Simple Power Analysis tools. |
| System Security Settings | Platform-wide 2FA enforcement and multi-device login controls. |
Key Updates
- Randomization Analytics: Empowered study statisticians and managers with new tools, including the ability to export randomization data with advanced filtering, and newly introduced modules for Futility Analysis and Simple Power Analysis.
- System Security Settings: Added platform-level controls to System Settings, allowing administrators to enforce mandatory Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for all users and configure policies for allowing logins on multiple devices.
🚚 February 2025: End-to-End IMP Supply Chain & Audit Trails
| Area | What it is for |
|---|---|
| IMP Delivery Workflow | Complete lifecycle management of drug delivery requests from site to sponsor to warehouse. |
| Screening Audit Trail | Comprehensive logging of all screening-related actions and data changes. |
| E-Consent Management | Enhanced matrix views and invitation workflows for electronic consent. |
Key Updates
- IMP Delivery Workflow: Launched a comprehensive, multi-step IMP delivery request system. This includes Site Delivery Requests, Sponsor Approval/Rejection, Warehouse Preparation, Site Confirmation of Delivery, and final Validation pages, complete with lot number and serial number tracking.
- Screening Audit Trail: Implemented a dedicated Screening Audit Trail Matrix, providing monitors and administrators with a transparent, exportable log of all actions and data modifications during the subject screening process.
- E-Consent Management: Upgraded the E-Consent module with a new matrix view, improved invitation actions, and better handling of consent form archiving and signing workflows.
📦 January 2025: IMP Receipt Management & Query Module Upgrades
| Area | What it is for |
|---|---|
| IMP Receipt Validation | Streamlined processing, validation, and lot/serial number assignment for incoming IMP. |
| Enhanced Query Module | Richer query modals integrating subject personal data and direct links to subject details. |
Key Updates
