3. Each task can have data collection based on standard or custom fields

4. Branching logic based on the previous task

5. Workflows can be assigned to one or more CPs

7. Define validations and deviations

Standard vs Custom workflows

From v11.x onwards, regular data entry is done via standard workflows. These standard workflows comes with OpenSpecimen at ‘No additional cost’.

If you want to create any custom workflows specific to your needs, it needs to be purchased separately.
