2. How to create a location for Trials with EDC connection


For trials with EDC connection please enter the Site code manually in IWRS when creating a new location.

Copying and pasting Site code information to IWRS may lead to incorrect Site Codes being created, as additional whitespaces may be introduced in IWRS - this may lead to inability to randomise subjects!

Therefore, manually inputting information in these fields (instead of copying information from elsewhere) will guarantee whitespaces (or other formatting characters) are not inadvertently added.
