A Global Data Store is a specialized repository in elluminate that consolidates and manages data across multiple studies or programs. Similar to a study data store, the Importer, Exporter, and Tasks modules can be configured, and the Mapper can be used to work with data in a Global Data Store. Access to Global Data Store resources is controlled by associating studies with a compound, therapeutic area, or program.

For more information on data stores, refer to the Overview of Data Stores article in the Administration section.
