Under some circumstances you may be required to create a new person record. For example, you may receive a request to create a person record from someone who is abstracting a registered trial but is unable to find the primary investigator’s record in the database.
How to Create a Person Record
On the main menu, under Person, click Create.
The Create Person(s) page appears. There are three main sections of information: basic identifying information, address, and contact information.
