24 Feb Zendesk Guide for Study Teams
Zendesk Guide is a communications management tool that provides a dedicated space for study teams to track communications with central research offices, including CTMS Program Office, UW Clinical Trials Office (CTO) and UW Clinical Research Budget & Billing (CRBB). Central research offices have been using Zendesk to manage communications since July 2020 (CTMS Program Office) and October 2020 (UW CTO/CRBB). Zendesk Guide for study teams was launched December 2020.
Zendesk Guide may help study teams by:
- Assigning ticket numbers to communication exchanges for improved tracking
- Bringing visibility to ticket statuses, research workflows and pending respondents
- Allowing users to add additional comments and/or attachments
Using Zendesk Guide is optional. Study teams may use their usual email platforms to communicate with central research offices.
