Developer Features in 23R3

We are pleased to bring you the following additions and enhancements to the CDMS & CDB API features in 23R3. REST API features added in 23R3 only affect API v23.3, unless otherwise specified.

23R2.2

Email Group Management: Retrieving & Updating Group Members via API

Release Date: August 18, 2023 NEW

The new "Retrieve Email Groups" endpoint will allow for the study-specific retrieval of information on Email Groups, including the group name, ID, and member count. With the introduction of the "Retrieve Email Group Members" endpoint, member details of an Email Group can be retrieved using either the Email Group name or ID. New members can also be added and existing members can be updated or deleted with the new "Update Email Group Members" endpoint.

Once the conditions of a Send Email rule are met, email notifications are sent to the members of the configured Email Group. These new endpoints expand user management capabilities by enabling Email Group Members management via API.

Change Reason Optional for Forms and Events APIs

Release Date: August 18, 2023 UPDATE

Select Forms and Events endpoints now allow for an optional change reason. If the change reason is omitted, although the update action requires a reason for change, a default reason will be provided.

This enhancement applies to the following endpoints:

For update actions where no reason for change is required (for example, blank forms), the system now allows you to choose whether or not to provide a change reason. This facilitates timely updates without the need for prior inspections of forms and events, in line with the 23R1 released combination form update API.

23R2.3

Retrieve Study Roles

Release Date: September 15, 2023 NEW

The new Retrieve Study Roles endpoint allows you to retrieve all Study Roles from a Vault, both standard and custom. The Study Roles are listed, including the role name, assigned team, and the permissions as granted (true) or not granted (false). The View Users permission is required for this request.

Retrieve Study Masters

Release Date: September 15, 2023 NEW

The new Retrieve Study Masters endpoint helps retrieve information on selected or all Study and library Collections in a Vault. Details for each instance of a Study Master include name, creation and deploy dates, environment type, status, and build information. This serves as the foundation for controlling automated Study builds in the future. The View Study and View Library permissions are required for this request.

Create Study Master

Release Date: September 15, 2023 NEW

The new Create Study Master endpoint extends the Study Design section of the CDMS API. The “create” action is identical to the New Study and New Collection actions in Studio. With this endpoint, both a Study Master and an initial development instance or environment are created. Other study instances, such as Test, Training, and Production, are not created using this endpoint.

For this request, you’ll need the Design Study permission to execute the equivalent of a New Study action and the Design Library permission to execute the equivalent of a New Collection action.

Upsert Users (JSON)

Release Date: September 15, 2023 NEW

The new Upsert Users endpoint enhances current User Management capabilities by allowing you to add and update user details in JSON format without uploading a CSV file. The required data values and request responses are identical to those of the CSV file upload functionality and will be restricted to batches of 100 users per request (maximum).

Retrieve Studies

Release Date: September 15, 2023 UPDATE

The response body of this endpoint has been expanded to include additional details about the study, including the locked status, connection, environment and build. The return value for study is now identical to the study label.

23R2.4

Start Job

Release Date: October 6, 2023 UPDATE

The Start Job API is used to start Study jobs of various types. Now, it supports a new job type: Data Change Report. The Data Change Report is referred to as the Data Change Extract in the EDC Tools user interface. This new job is a simplified version of the audit trail job and focuses on Item data changes. It includes all data entry changes to Items and Event Dates during a specific date range. This update takes affect when the v23.3 CDMS API becomes GA.
