What this Study Startup screenshot shows
This interface reference displays the "Create Investigator" creation screen within the Global Directory module of Veeva Vault. The interface provides a structured form designed to capture essential investigator details during the study startup phase. A prominent informational banner at the top of the details section instructs users that creating an investigator record requires an OpenData ID. This ID can be searched for and set using a dedicated link, which subsequently configures specific fields as read-only on the record. The layout features a standard top navigation bar, a left-hand navigation panel, and a main data entry workspace. This screen serves as a key entry point for establishing standardized investigator profiles, helping clinical operations teams maintain consistent personnel records across different clinical trials and study sites.

Interface details
The user interface is organized with a top navigation bar containing tabs such as Study Info, Study Startup, TMF, Study Management, and the active Global Directory tab. Below this, the breadcrumb path indicates the "Personnel" category. The main workspace is titled "Create Investigator" and features action buttons in the upper right, including Cancel, Save + Create, and a highlighted blue Save button. The central form is divided into a left-hand navigation list showing "Details" and a main "Details" section. A yellow informational banner warns that an OpenData ID is required to complete the record creation. The form fields are arranged in a two-column layout. The left column contains fields for Name, Email, Office Phone, and All Specialty Groups. The right column displays the OpenData ID field with a blue "Set OpenData ID" link, alongside fields for Address and All Specialties. A cursor hand icon is visible near the address field, and a large orange "Sponsor/CRO" label is overlaid in the bottom right corner of the screen capture.
Workflow context
In clinical trial operations, establishing accurate investigator profiles is a critical step in the study startup and site activation process. This interface supports the initial setup of investigator records by prompting users to link profiles to a standardized OpenData ID. Utilizing a centralized directory can support data consistency across multiple studies and help prevent duplicate entries. The requirement to set an OpenData ID could help clinical operations teams ensure that investigator credentials, contact information, and specialties are aligned with verified reference data. By making select fields read-only once the ID is established, the system can support data integrity and streamline subsequent site feasibility and qualification workflows. This structured data entry process could ultimately assist sponsors and contract research organizations in maintaining a reliable, centralized database of clinical investigators for current and future trials.
Source, version, and interpretation limits
The source of this image is an official Veeva hosted demo representing Veeva Study Startup Feasibility Surveys, published around 2020. Because this is a static screenshot of a demo environment, it does not represent live, real-time, or validated production data. The visible fields, labels, and navigation options reflect a specific 2020-era configuration that may differ from current software releases or custom client implementations. Additionally, the presence of the "Sponsor/CRO" watermark indicates this is a demonstration frame rather than an active clinical database. This reference cannot verify the automated integration of the OpenData search function or the compliance status of the underlying system.
