What this Study Startup screenshot shows
This interface reference displays the "Create Investigator" creation screen within Veeva Vault, accessed under the Global Directory tab. The screen facilitates the entry and management of investigator profiles, which are essential components of clinical trial setup and site feasibility workflows. The interface presents a structured form for capturing key investigator details, including contact information, professional specialties, and address data. A prominent informational banner at the top of the form instructs users that creating an investigator record requires an OpenData ID, which can be searched and set using the provided link. By linking the record to an OpenData ID, certain fields are automatically populated and set to read-only, helping to maintain data consistency across the directory. This screen represents a foundational step in establishing investigator profiles for clinical studies.

Interface details
The layout features a standard Veeva Vault header with navigation tabs such as Home, Study Info, Study Startup, TMF, Study Management, and Global Directory, with Global Directory currently selected. Below the header, a breadcrumb trail indicates the "Personnel" category, leading to the "Create Investigator" page title. The main workspace is split into a left-hand navigation panel showing a "Details" section and a central form area. The central form contains an informational banner highlighting the OpenData ID requirement. Below this banner, fields are arranged in a two-column layout. The left column displays fields for Name (populated with "Tyrone Alan Slothrop, MD"), Email, Office Phone, and All Specialty Groups. The right column contains the OpenData ID field with an "Update OpenData ID" action link, followed by Address and All Specialties. Action buttons in the upper right corner of the workspace allow users to Cancel, Save + Create, or Save the record. The clean, structured design uses clear labels and consistent spacing to guide the user through the record creation process.
Workflow context
In clinical operations, establishing accurate investigator profiles is a critical precursor to site feasibility and selection activities. This interface supports the initial steps of identifying and registering qualified investigators within a global directory. By utilizing the OpenData ID integration, clinical operations users can verify investigator credentials and professional details against a standardized database. This integration could help reduce manual data entry errors and ensure that specialty information, such as Cardiology or Cardiac Electrophysiology, is accurately recorded. Having a centralized, verified investigator directory can support study startup teams as they evaluate potential sites and initiate feasibility surveys. The ability to quickly save and create subsequent records can streamline the administrative burden of onboarding multiple investigators for a new clinical trial, ultimately supporting more efficient study startup timelines.
