New Display Options For Participant Tables. The Potential and Enrolled Participant pages can now display Current Age and Next Event sortable columns. The current age displays the participant’s age based on their birthday in years and months. The Next Event column uses the event sort order to display the date and time of the next scheduled event in the list.

Study and Site Admins Can Unpin Comments. Now Study and Site Admins can pin or unpin any comment or log entry on the participant profile so that these sections can stay up to date with the most important information.

Better Access to Support. The “Support” link has been added to the page header (previously only available in the footer) to ensure you can easily find help when and where you need it.
