Castor Connect Authentication (EDC)

  • Authentication emails are only sent the first time the record receives a mobile enabled survey package. The mail contains an authentication link that can be used to authenticate within the mobile app. The link in this email will expire within 72 hours.
  • For any following survey, the user will be notified through the app instead of by email.
  • If a user is unable to authenticate before the link expires, then an invitation can be resent using a dedicated button in the record’s survey overview

Survey Package Invitations

  • Invitations for mobile enabled surveys cannot be edited or resent.
  • Options to open the survey in a popup or open the survey in a new window are not available for mobile enabled surveys.
  • The action Resend Castor Connect invite will be available for mobile survey invitations to resend the authentication link.
