Updated ‘New Protocol’ Process
Streamlined and improved the process for creating a new protocol:
- Protocol Template
- Copy selected sections from an existing protocol.
- Better than “Save as”: pick and choose what information to copy, eliminating the need to review and update all fields for the current year.
- Custom Settings
- Protocol Checklist provides overview of study settings prior to protocol creation.
- New Study Rules and SE Lists sections in settings to pre-load these important protocol features.
- These new selections can be saved in the saved “Settings Set” defaults for future re-use.

Document multiple GEP Accreditation Certificates
ARM now supports multiple GEP Certificates for a single trial.
