7.2 Public Annotations

Public annotations are specific to a person who can do it. There is a 'Navigator' that can add the public annotations for the trials that are assigned to them.

Add public notes

  • The public notes are added by "Navigator" by logging-in to their tenant.

  • They can select the trial for which they want to add the public notes.

  • Annotations added by the Navigator for a study become public for the end users when they land on the study detail page.

4.3 Definitions

If there are any available definitions for the terms on the study detail page, a toggle button is present which when toggled to right highlights the terms in blue indicating a definition is present for that term. When the user clicks on any of that term on the study detail page, a popover appears on the right with a definition for that term along with a link to wikipedia in the same popover. The link on clicking can take the user to the wikipedia page of that term.
