| EL-36559 | Subjects Panel: Added the 'Unclean Reason(s)' column to exports when Clean Participant Tracker is enabled | When Clean Participant Tracker is enabled, exports from the Subjects listing now include the Unclean Reason(s) column. This column captures the reasons a subject is marked as unclean at the time of export, making information previously available only from the Clean Status tooltip available in exported data. This enhancement improves audit readiness and supports documentation. |
| EL-35955 | Veeva Vault CDMS query authentication: Updated to support flexible authentication workflows | Data Central now supports multiple authentication workflows when creating or actioning queries in Veeva Vault CDMS. Based on the study's configured authentication settings, users can authenticate using stored credentials, individual credentials, SSO, or a combination of password and SSO authentication. This enhancement provides organizations with greater flexibility to align query workflows with security requirements while delivering a streamlined authentication experience for end users. |
| EL-36520 | Visualizations: Added Visualization Details popout | Visualizations now include a new Visualization Details popout that provides quick access to key configuration details by clicking the chart title. The popout displays Dimensions, Measures, Chart Configuration Filters, and any linked Review Objectives, providing greater visibility into the data being displayed and making it easier to validate the chart and interpret results. Linked Review Objectives are interactive, allowing users to open their details directly from the popout for additional context. The popout also displays chart metadata, including the Created By user and date, as well as the Last Modified By user and date. This enhancement helps users understand, validate, and analyze charts by surfacing key configuration details, related review context, and chart metadata in one location. |
Issues and Orchestrator
Issues Release Notes
| Issue ID | Summary | Issues Release Note Description |
|---|---|---|
| EL-37146 | Create, Edit, and Reopen Issue windows: Redesigned layouts and enhanced workflows | Redesigned the Create, Edit, and Reopen Issue windows across Data Central, RBQM, SCE, Specifications, eIQ Review, Analytics, ODR, and Issues to provide a more consistent, readable, and efficient user experience. Updated layouts separate editable issue details from read-only record details, improving visibility of key record information and configured related fields while streamlining issue entry and review workflows.

| EL-35076 | Enabled separate prepopulation of Issue Text and Query Text using distinct Mapper columns | Users can now define a dedicated IssueText column in mappings to control the text that is prepopulated when creating an Issue. When an IssueText column is defined, its value is used only for Issue creation, while QueryText continues to be used only for Query creation. If an IssueText field does not exist, the system uses QueryText to prepopulate the Issue, preserving existing behavior. Prepopulated Issue text remains editable before the Issue is created. |
| EL-36739 | Improved filtering experience highlighting relevant values | Global Issues now provides a more intuitive filtering experience for string-based columns. When filters are applied in one column, opening the filter popout in another column now visually distinguishes which values remain in the filtered dataset.
This enhancement helps users quickly identify relevant filter values and make more context-aware filtering decisions. |
| EL-37080 | Updated Site ID and Subject ID column filters to unique value selectors | In Global Issues, the Site ID and Subject ID column filters have been updated from free-text entry to unique value selectors, allowing users to search for and select one or more values from the available list. Additionally, when searching within a column filter, users can press Enter to automatically select all matching results at once, making it faster and easier to narrow down data. However, a minimum of three characters is required in the search field to use this capability. |
Orchestrator Release Notes
| Issue ID | Summary | Orchestrator Release Note Description |
|---|---|---|
| EL-36085 | Expanded Orchestrator auto-closure for queries and issues | When an Orchestrator rule no longer meets its criteria, Orchestrator automatically resolves all associated queries and issues. Open Rave queries are canceled, while open Veeva and InForm queries and elluminate issues are closed. Queries and issues that were previously answered, marked In Progress or Pending, or manually reopened are also closed when they are no longer applicable. This enhancement helps keep issue tracking accurate and up to date. |

Risk Management
Risk Management Release Notes
| Issue ID | Summary | Risk Management Release Note Description |
|---|---|---|
| EL-40566 | RACT: Added capability for moving Risks across Considerations | Added the Move Risk option to the Risk Actions menu for each Risk card. Users can now move a Risk from one Consideration to another within the same Assessment. Moved Risks retain their content and Risk ID, preserving their identity and historical continuity. |
| EL-36563 | RACT: Added reassessment workflow for continuous risk tracking across assessment versions | A new Create Reassessment option was added to distinguish between creating a new assessment and creating a reassessment, giving Risk Managers greater control over whether to create a new assessment or continue from a previously finalized assessment. This update supports continuous risk tracking across assessment versions while preserving the option to create a new assessment without carrying forward existing Risks. The Create Reassessment flow allows users to select a finalized assessment to use as the basis for the reassessment. All Risks from the selected assessment are carried forward, preserving risk identity, content, and associated IDRPs where applicable. Carried-over Risks remain under their existing CTQs and Considerations, while Risks without valid Considerations are placed under the Unaffiliated CTQ. The Create Assessment button was renamed Create New Assessment. Assessments created through the Create New Assessment flow always start with no existing Risks. These changes provide a more consistent reassessment workflow and maintain a reliable risk identity trail for Analytics. |
| EL-40568 | RACT: Introduced generic CTQs in RACT Assessments | Added two system-defined generic CTQs, Study Specific and Unaffiliated, to the default CTQ setup in all Assessment Settings and active RACT Assessments. These CTQs provide a standardized way to capture study-specific Risks and Risks that do not align with an existing CTQ. The generic CTQs and their Considerations function like standard CTQs and Considerations. They support Risk creation, the Move Risk action, and export. Because they are system-defined, they cannot be modified. This update does not affect existing finalized assessments and provides Risk Managers with a standardized way to capture study-specific and non-CTQ-associated Risks while supporting more consistent risk organization across assessments. |
| EL-34338 | RACT: Introduced IQRM Analytics for integrated quality risk management insights | Added the IQRM page under Analytics to provide Risk Managers with a consolidated view of how study Risks in the latest finalized Assessment align with IDRP Review Objectives. The dashboard includes summary metrics, visualizations, and an Integrated Quality Risk Management Plan (IQRMP) table to help users evaluate Risk coverage, Review Objective alignment, reviewer role distribution, and quality risk management priorities. The IQRMP table combines Risk and IDRP Review Objective data in a single view and supports sorting, filtering, and export to Excel and PDF. Users can also filter the dashboard by CTQ and Risk Control Action, with filter selections applied across all dashboard components. This enhancement provides Risk Managers with a consolidated view of how study Risks align with IDRP Review Objectives and reviewer responsibilities, supporting integrated quality risk management, review planning, governance reporting, and inspection readiness. |
| EL-33723 | RACT: Introduced Risk Analytics Overview page for study-level risk insights and reporting | Introduced the Overview page under Analytics to provide a centralized, study-level view of risk performance across finalized assessments. The page includes summary cards for Risks, Functional Plans, Metrics, and Mitigations, enabling Risk Managers to monitor risk trends, mitigation activity, monitoring coverage, and functional ownership from a single location. Metrics include QTL and KRI counts with links to the corresponding RBQM pages, while mitigation metrics distinguish between Pre-Study and During-Study activities. Interactive charts provide deeper analysis through Risk Score (RPN) Over Time, Risk Distribution, KRI Distribution, Mitigation by Risk, and Risk Distribution by Functional Plan. The Risk Summary table now appears at the bottom of the page to provide supporting risk details. Page-level filters for Assessments, CTQs, and Risk Control Actions apply across all dashboard elements to support focused analysis and reporting. To support consistent reporting across reassessments, RACT now preserves risk identity when risks are carried forward from finalized assessments. The Risk Description and Risk Statement fields are read-only for carried-over risks. For Library-linked risks, the Risk Description field remains read-only until the risk is unlinked from the Library. These enhancements provide an audit-ready view of risk evolution, monitoring coverage, mitigation activity, and functional accountability across finalized assessments, supporting routine risk reviews, governance reporting, and inspection readiness. |
| EL-30592 | RBQM: Introduced Root Cause Analysis dashboard for KRI investigation | Introduced the Root Cause Analysis dashboard to support RBQM KRI investigation workflows. Users can now access the dashboard directly from KRI side panels by selecting the 'Go to Root Cause Analysis' link. The page provides centralized access to KRI Trend charts, site and country comparison visualizations, and configurable supporting graphs to help central monitors investigate elevated or abnormal KRI behavior efficiently. The Root Cause Analysis dashboard includes KRI Trend charts for site-level and country-level analysis, allowing users to track KRI score changes over time, compare KRI scores against the overall study average, and view threshold-based background shading that highlights risk levels. The charts also dynamically adjust based on whether users launch the dashboard from a study-level or specific site or country context. Site Comparison and Country Comparison visualizations use box-and-whisker charts to compare KRI scores across the study, display historical score distributions, highlight current run scores and risk levels, and automatically focus on the selected site or country during investigation. The dashboard also supports configurable supporting graphs to provide additional KRI-specific analysis. RBQM now supports configurable and reusable supporting graphs in KRI configuration within Data Central Configuration and directly from the Root Cause Analysis dashboard. Users with Data Central Designer and RBQM privileges can create new visualizations or select existing visualizations through the new Custom Supporting Graph experience. Custom visualizations can be previewed, edited, saved, reused, and are stored in the dedicated RBQM Supporting Graph folder in Data Central Visualizations. Only visualizations in this folder are available for selection as supporting graphs when configuring KRIs. These enhancements also introduce Save As support for existing visualizations, support dynamic visualizations for KRI exploration, and provide centralized management of reusable supporting graphs across studies. |

Study Advisor
Study Advisor Release Notes
| Issue ID | Summary | Study Advisor Release Note Description |
|---|---|---|
| EL-33977 | Added AI-assisted study creation from Study Protocols | Study creation now supports an AI-assisted workflow through Study Advisor, allowing Administrators and Study Configure users to create studies directly from an uploaded Study Protocol (PDF or DOCX). On the Studies page, after selecting ‘Create Via Study Advisor’ from the Add Study menu, Study Advisor extracts key study information, including Study Name, Study Type, Therapeutic Area, Phase, Compound, Primary Endpoint, Program Type, Description, Indication, Blinding, Control, and Healthy Subjects, and populates the Configuration tab in Study Configuration, allowing users to review, edit, and confirm the proposed values before creating the study. When extracted values do not already exist in Configuration under Platform Administration, Study Advisor suggests new configuration values for authorized users to add directly during study setup. After the study is created, users are automatically taken to Study Advisor, where the uploaded Study Protocol is stored in the dedicated Study Protocol card. This enhancement reduces manual data entry, accelerates study setup, and helps keep study configuration aligned with the Study Protocol. |
| EL-34323 | Documents and Details: Added study file management and AI-extracted study details | Study Advisor is a new addition to elluminate that centralizes study documents, AI-extracted study details, and protocol-driven study setup in a single location. Study Advisor is available from the Study Management drop-down within a study and from the Study Management section of the platform menu and can be enabled or disabled on a per-study basis. Study Advisor is organized into three sections: Documents, Details, and Review Objectives. The Documents section supports uploading (by users with Administer, Study Configure, or eDrive Read Write privileges), downloading, versioning, including downloading previous versions, and managing the Study Protocol and other study documents. The Study Protocol is supported in PDF and DOCX formats up to 50 MB, while other study documents have no file type constraints and a 1 GB limit. Uploading a Study Protocol to the dedicated Study Protocol card automatically triggers AI extraction of study details and generation of Review Objective recommendations. The extracted study details are displayed in the read-only Details section and remain synchronized with the latest Study Protocol version. The ‘Push to Study Configuration’ button updates the existing Configuration Details to align with the Study Protocol. When selected, the Study Configuration window opens with suggested values populated for fields that differ from the study's current configuration. These fields are marked with a sparkle icon, and hovering over the icon displays the previous value for easy comparison. Fields that already match remain unchanged, and if all AI-extracted details already match the study's configuration, the Push to Study Configuration action is disabled. The Review Objectives section provides a centralized location for reviewing and managing AI-generated Review Objective suggestions based on the uploaded Study Protocol. This enhancement accelerates study setup, reduces manual effort, helps keep study configuration and review planning aligned with the latest Study Protocol, and provides a foundation for AI-assisted study management. Note: For studies with Data Advisor enabled, Study Advisor’s Documents tab is integrated with the eDrive Protocol folder to provide a single location for managing study documents. When Study Advisor is enabled, the eDrive Protocol folder becomes read-only and redirects users to Study Advisor. The first time users navigate to Study Advisor, a Sync From eDrive window appears and lists all files in the eDrive Protocol folder. Users can designate one file as the Study Protocol, and any remaining files are imported as supporting documents. |
| EL-33972 | Review Objectives: Added AI-powered Review Objective suggestions from Study Protocols | Study Advisor now uses AI to analyze uploaded Study Protocols and generate Review Objective suggestions, helping users build study-specific review plans more quickly and consistently. Suggestions are presented in two categories: Global Library Suggestions, which identify existing Review Objectives in the Global Library that closely match the Study Protocol and can be reused, and Study Document Suggestions, which generate new Review Objectives based on the Study Protocol when suitable matches do not already exist. Study Document Suggestions include AI-generated recommendations for key configuration details, including Primary Domain, Secondary Domain(s), Field(s), Priority, Reviewer Role(s), and Review Frequency, along with the supporting Protocol Reference and Rationale used to generate each suggestion. Users can review, edit, accept, or reject individual suggestions, or use multi-select actions to accept or reject multiple suggestions at once through either the toolbar or the right-click context menu. If study data has not been imported yet, suggestions use SDTM domains for Primary Domain, Secondary Domain(s), and Field(s), and the Accept button will be disabled until users select ‘Connect to Study Data’ to recalculate these fields using the study's imported data. Accepting a suggestion automatically adds the Review Objective to the study's Review Plan, while rejecting a suggestion prompts the user to select a predefined Rejection Reason and retains that decision so the Review Objective is not recommended again for future Study Protocol versions. Rejected suggestions can also be restored to the Pending Review state using the Unreject button. This ensures full user control over the review planning process. Both Global Library Suggestions and Study Document Suggestions can be reviewed, searched, filtered, exported, and managed independently for each uploaded Study Protocol version, allowing users to compare suggestions across Study Protocol versions while preventing duplication of previously accepted Review Objectives. Each tab includes clickable status badges that display the number of suggestions that are Pending Review (yellow), Accepted (green), and Rejected (red). Selecting a badge filters the grid to the corresponding suggestions, providing an at-a-glance summary of suggestion progress. This enhancement accelerates review plan creation, promotes reuse of Global Library Review Objectives, and helps keep study-specific review plans aligned with the latest Study Protocol. |
