    Prior to a site visit or inspection, the oversight & regulatory agencies request a current, unanswered version of the Animal Protocol... allowing them to see all questions asked of the researchers. Is this functionality currently available within Cayuse... or will we need to collect a series of screenshots in Adobe Indesign to create our own view of the entire, blank protocol?

    Thanks,

    Hi Evins,

    This is a great question! Most of our customers create a template protocol in the staging or UAT site. Then, you can create a PDF of that draft to share with site visitors or inspectors.

    Thanks for the great feedback,
    Sarah

    We just created a test protocol for this purpose.
    It's approved within the system and has all the questions answered, though no real info.
    We can just pdf that when someone needs to see our form.

    I also wrote a "dummy" protocol, answering the questions with spaces to satisfy/trigger completion.  On reflection, writing true answers would have served well for training purposes.  Is that what you did, Lisa?  And, did you create your protocol in the STG or PROD environments?

    Thank you, Sarah, for this tip.

    For me, this process doesn't automatically produce a PDF.  It produces a web page version of the protocol.  I'm not able to save to PDF (without installing a browser add-on, which my IT people have told me not to do), nor am I able to save to a usable web format.  Printing to PDF sort of works -- all of the hyperlinks get lost, and the formatting can suffer depending on which print-to-PDF driver I use.  This really limits the usefulness of the PDF.  I'd really love an "export to PDF" function, which would preserve hyperlinks and formatting better -- for the Preview Protocol, Full Document Review, Protocol Revision Search, etc.!  Or please follow up this video with instructions on how to save to PDF and preserve hyperlinks & formatting.
    Thanks.

    Hi Caitlyn,

    Thank your for the feedback! I'll reach out to our engineers about the export to PDF function. I think that would be a great enhancement!

    Best,
    Sarah
