Review Steps
The Review Steps section of Review Screen header toolbar allows each review participant to move the review from one phase to another, or to wait in the current phase until certain specified activity occur. To learn more about review phases, see the Review Workflow and Phases topic.
The choice options vary depending on the current and the expected phases of the review and the role of the participant. The choice options can be: Annotate, Inspect, Wait, Send to Rework, Send to Completed, Sign, Decline and so forth.
Pressing any of the Review Steps buttons (except for Wait) indicates that you have passed through the current review phase and moves the review to another phase.
Pressing the Wait button keeps the review in its current phase.
Wait Options
Most of the choices also allow selecting in which case Collaborator will notify you of certain activities related to the given review. The action options are:
-
Any activity occurs – any action that occurs in the review; for example, comments, file uploads, or added participants.
-
Activity by author occurs – any action that occurs in the review that is initiated by the author.
-
File activity occurs – any action that occurs to change the file content of the review; for example, the upload of a new file or the upload of a new version of an existing file.
-
Someone pokes me – only notifies you in the event that you are poked.
Electronic Signatures
When electronic signatures are enabled, users will see Sign and Decline buttons in the Review Steps section for completed reviews. Clicking either button requires a user to provide their login and password (or only login, when single sign-on is enabled) to complete the action. This makes the electronic signature compliant with FDA regulations.
When a reviewer signs or declines a review, the Review Steps section displays "This review has been signed off" or "This review has been declined" message. The Chat section shows the signature information. Collaborator notes the name of the reviewer and the date and time the review was signed or declined.
For auditing purposes, you can go to the Review Details Report. Make sure that Comments Section Format is set to Display All Comments, and in the Overall Review Conversation section, you can see the signature information.
