Make sure you have a valid license for using Viedoc TMF.
Publish a design

Customize and import the template
All the steps in this section are performed by the TMF Manager.
Download the baseline template
The first time you set up your Viedoc TMF, you begin with a baseline template provided by Viedoc. It is recommended that the TMF template is customized to your specific documentation needs.
See Viedoc-provided templates to download the template.
Customize the template
The template can be customized for your study or organization's specific needs. For example, you can edit, add, or delete zones, sections, and artifacts. See Customizing a template for more information.
Exporting and customizing an existing template
If there is a template that was previously imported, it can be exported in order to customize it, then imported again.
See Exporting a template for more information.
Import the template
Once customized, import the template to TMF. See Importing a template for more information.
Instantiate the structure
This step is performed by the TMF Manager.
See Instantiating a structure for more information.
The template is now applied to the trial and the TMF structure is available for end users to work with.
Note! Once a structure is instantiated, it can not be uninstantiated.
Launch TMF in production mode
This step is performed by a Clinic user with a mapped TMF role.
