Huron IRB - Navigation and Basic Tasks

When you first log in, you will be on on your Dashboard, which is the starting point for finding items and performing many basic tasks.

Locating Key Items

From your Dashboard, you will see:

• My Inbox: Items that require you to take action.
• My Reviews: Items assigned to you to review. These are a subset of the items in My Inbox.
• Create menu and buttons: Actions you can perform. The menu will not show if you do not have access to any buttons.
• Recently Viewed:
  • Recent: The last several items you viewed. Scroll through this list to find an item you worked on recently.
  • Pinned: You can pin the items in Recently Viewed section for quick and easy access. This is where those pinned items are listed.
• Personalize Table: You can alter the tables displayed on the dashboard by using the Personalize Table gear icon.

Understanding Required Actions

• Review the state of submissions in My Inbox. The state gives a clue as to what to do next. For example, “Pre-Submission” means you haven’t submitted the study. You can open it, and then finish and submit it for review.

Opening Submissions

• From My Inbox, or from the Submissions page, click the submission name.
• The submission workspace opens.
