Approving and Releasing Results v5.0

This Documentation References PopMedNet 5.3.

Approving and Releasing Results

The Response Reviewer role allows a user to review, aggregate, and release results for a data partner or group of data partners within a network. Data partners may designate a user as a Response Reviewer and require that their results are first approved by the Response Reviewer before being released to a requester. Response Reviewers for multiple DataMarts may release site-specific results or group them into aggregate result sets.


Checking the Request Status

View requests awaiting approval from the request list on your network Portal. After a DataMart Administrator has uploaded results, the request is displayed in the request list with a status of "Awaiting Approval."

Click on the request name to enter the Request Detail page.


Viewing and Approving Results

The Request Detail page displays the metadata and parameters of the request and the status of the DataMarts that you are responsible for.

At the bottom of the page in the Received Responses section you will have several options.

  1. View Results: View selected results as individual or aggregate responses.
  2. Approve Responses: Approve responses from selected DataMarts and release results to the requester.
  3. Reject Responses: Reject responses for selected DataMarts.
  4. Resubmit: Ask the selected DataMart to resubmit responses to the same request.
  5. *Group: Aggregate responses from selected DataMarts and specify a name for the grouped responses.
    1. *Ungroup: After responses have been grouped they can be ungrouped and will revert to their previous format.
