New features and enhancements

  • In this release our main focus was upgrading our infrastructure. These technical improvements are not necessarily visible to the user, but they are needed to ensure a reliable user experience for the user.
  • We have improved the registration flow for participants. The fields are now in a more logical order and for US participants it is now easier to select a State/Province/Region, which ensures a smoother experience when filling in your personal details.

Maintenance release 2025.1.1.0

New features and enhancements

  • Validation for US zip codes has been added on the participant detail page that is part of the onboarding flow for participants.

Maintenance release 2025.1.2.0

Release date

New features and enhancements

  • Various technical improvements to help our Support team assist customers more efficiently.

Minor release 2025.1.3.0

Release date

EU & US servers: March 24, 9 AM CET / 3 AM ET

New features and enhancements

Passwordless authentication

To enhance security and usability, we are introducing a passwordless login experience for participants in our eConsent product. This change applies only to newly created studies and replaces traditional passwords with one-time passwords (OTP) sent via email.

Email-Based OTP Authentication - Instead of entering a password, participants will receive a one-time password (OTP) via email to authenticate/

Simplified Registration and Login Flow - Participants only need to enter their first and last name during registration. An OTP is then sent to their email for account activation. Future logins will also require an OTP for authentication.

Effortless Signing of Documents - An OTP is required when signing a document. When a participant initiates a signature, the system automatically sends an OTP to their email. Once authenticated, the signature is confirmed.

No More Forgotten Passwords - Because an OTP is generated for each login, participants no longer need to remember passwords or go through a password reset process.

Other enhancements

  • It is now possible to adjust the text of the participant questions when editing a draft ICF.

System defect fixes

  • We fixed an issue where, after Castor Support would change the email address of a LAR user, the system would log an ATE which specified that a participants' email address was changed instead of that of a LAR.

Maintenance release 2025.1.4.0

Release date

EU & US servers: April 22nd, 9 AM CET / 3 AM ET

New features and enhancements

  • The Participant ID will now be shown in the PDF version of a form. This is only applied to newly created forms. Existing forms are not affected.
  • Resolved an issue where some ICF forms had minor tickbox-text misalignment
  • Resolved issues with wording and presentation of authentication modals for users of OTP/SSO

 


Hotfix release 2025.1.4.0

Release date

EU & US servers: April 28th, 3 PM CET / 9 AM ET

System defect fixes

  • Fixed an issue where the content would be cut off in ICFs with a large amount of text.
