Collection Protocol Groups (CPGs) (v6.2)

Multiple CPs belonging to a site use the same workflows (JSON), forms, and custom fields. To maintain such CPs, we are introducing a new concept called “Collection Protocol Group” (CPG).
A CPG can contain one or more CPs and have associated JSON, custom forms, and custom fields.

  • When the JSON is edited at the CPG level, all CP’s JSON is updated.

  • Customs forms can be assigned at the CPG level.

  • The most important use of CPGs is querying for custom forms across CPs.

NOTE: A CP can be attached to only one CPG. The reason being each CPG can have its forms & workflows attached. So the system can't determine which to use if CP is associated with multiple CPGs. 

Privileges

Anyone with CP add/edit can also create CPGs.

Create

  • From the navigation menu, click on ‘Collection Protocols.’

  • Click on ‘Collection Protocol Groups’ from the list page at the top.

  • Click on ‘Create’ from the ‘Collection Protocol Groups’ list.

  • Enter a title for the collection protocol group in the ‘Name’ field and add the collection protocols to be added to that group- both of these details are mandatory → Create.

You can add forms to the participant, visit, and specimen level as forms or as custom fields to all protocols in the group.

Delete (v7.0)

The collection protocol groups no longer in use can be deleted from the system. It does not affect the individual collection protocols in the group, and they remain as it is. Any saved queries associated with the CPG are deleted.
