Velos eResearch Enterprise offers an add-on module that allows organizations to be tied together by larger associations, known in eResearch as “Networks”. The Network tool allows permissioned users, with the Network module enabled, to create networks of organizations that have a shared relationship. This can be used to improve system organization, and can specifically be used to associate studies to an entire network instead of individually adding organizations.
For example, the organizations “General Hospital”, “Evangelical Hospital” and “Central Hospital” may be part of a larger, common association known as “Mercy Healthcare”. In this example, “Mercy Healthcare” would be entered into Velos as a Network, and “General Hospital”, “Evangelical Hospital” and “Central Hospital” would all be entered as Organizations, tied together by the Network “Mercy Healthcare”. For more information about Organizations, see Organizations. Using the Network tool, permissioned users can create, view, and edit network associations.
Enterprise Only: Networks are an optional add-on module for the Enterprise version.
To access networks:
1. Click the Manage menu in the upper-left hand corner of the screen, and select Networks.
