SDV Workflow

# Sdv
Last updated: 04/14/2026

Source Data Verification (SDV) in ClinicalDataS—verify electronic data against source documents using study configuration and the SDV Events worklist.

info

For the business definition of SDV, see SDV in Getting Started.

This page covers SDV entry points and how setup connects to daily verification. Detailed setup is in SDV Setup; the worklist is in Data Verification.

How it fits together

AreaPurpose
ConfigurationDefine SDV percentage or targeting rules, criteria (forms/fields), recipients, and options such as monitoring visit integration.
EventsStudy-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

  1. Sign in to your instance (for example https://test-2025.clinicaldatas.net).
  2. Open the study you work on.
  3. Under Installed Apps, choose SDV, then open Events for the worklist, or Setup for study configuration (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.

SDV high-level flow

  1. Configure SDV scope and behavior (rules, options, recipients).
  2. Enter and maintain subject CRF data in the study.
  3. Work SDV items from Events views and complete verification activities.

Configuration controls what is visible and required during SDV execution.

Prerequisites

  • Study has SDV installed and enabled.
  • User role includes SDV permissions.
  • Study status allows SDV operations where required by your workflow.
  • Subject/event data exists to generate SDV workload.
