All Tasks Page
In the light blue homepage banner, you will see an icon for “All Tasks.”
A system-generated email is sent to your institution email box when a task has been assigned to you.
Tasks represent those “chores” that have been assigned to you.
For example, Paul may create a task for Amy stating that he would like her to review his publication edits. Paul can create the task, assign it to Amy, and assign a due date.
Your default task view is a list of those open tasks that have been assigned to you or by you. To view all tasks for your organizations, switch to “All Tasks.” To view completed tasks, switch to “Completed.”
To create a new task, click “Create New Task.” Here you will be able to define the task, assign it to someone and attach a due date. New tasks can also be created from a follow-up service fulfillment event, inside a chosen visit/arm of a participant on a specific protocol.
All Reports Page
There is a reporting icon (left side) in the light blue Homepage banner. Click on the icon to access the various canned reports available in SPARCFulfillment. Please refer to the report data dictionaries for more details about each report.
Choose the desired Fulfillment report from the “All Reports” section (see Invoice Report example below), then set the filters and click “Request Report” to generate a report. Once in “Request Report,” the new report will appear in the list of existing reports in a “Pending” status until “Completed” – at which time you can download the requested export by clicking on the “attached file.” Previously generated reports can be organized and Sorted or Searched by fields such as Title, Dates, etc.
Imports Page
This page is where data from other systems can be imported into SPARCFulfillment via APIs. For example, xml reports with fulfillment data from Klok application with mapped data can be imported into SPARCFulfillment for record keeping and reporting purposes.
A “Proof Report” generates a test report without importing data; “Klok Report” imports data into SPARCFulfillment and generates a report.
