Protocol Action Notification Template

 

The Protocol Action Notification Template is a non-standard maintenance screen that allows you to upload or replace templates used for notification of various actions taken by IRB Administrators or Researchers on Protocol documents that have been submitted for review.  The template file type is Extensible Stylesheet Language with the ‘.xsl’ extension.  These transform and render documents formatted in Extensible Markup Language (XML) to the Portable Document Format (PDF) output to make the content suitable for viewing online and printing.  This allows for the customization of the look and feel to mimic legacy paper correspondence templates at your institution.

Click the view button in the Actions column for the desired Protocol Action Type row.

Depending on your browser and download manager type and settings, you may be prompted to select an application to open the file with (for example, Notepad).  Select the Open option, and click OK as necessary.  Otherwise, the application that is registered to open XML files by default will display the file.
