9. (Optional) Copy the template to all site(s) (#8)  

Please be careful not to hit this link when the template is blank it will overwrite your site templates if they are configured.

Making Updates 

If a version update is made to a study where a form was removed or added to the payment schedule, use the Update Site Versions link at the bottom of the right column.  (#9)  

NOTE: The table is automatically updated when a new study version includes an existing study site.

Important:

Only Subject forms are included in the payment manager.

If the initial subject registration form does not appear in the unscheduled column, it must be marked as a log form in the form builder.

If opening the Payment Manager page results in an error, it's because there is no site template saved in the payment configuration or no subject records in the study.

As records are entered in the study at the applicable sites, forms and visits will be tracked within the system and ready for payment based on the status defined in the configuration.

Managing Payments

The Payment Manager is found under the Study menu, as shown below.
