Confused by Zipline terms like “SmartForm” and “workspace”? Review the Zipline Glossary.
My Inbox contains applications that require you (or your team members) to take action. The most recently viewed submissions and any pinned submissions are displayed in the lefthand column. All other submissions are in the IRB Submissions Library. Both My Inbox and the Submissions Library allow filtering and sorting.
Users default to the Dashboard after logging into Zipline. You will only see submissions that you have been given access to in Zipline. From the Dashboard, you can:
The Dashboard contains:

The Recently Viewed section in the lefthand column of the Dashboard is split into 2 parts

To pin a submission, simply select the thumbtack icon displaying on any recent submission. Only submissions that are in the recently viewed column can be pinned. To unpin, simply deselect the thumbtack icon.

My Inbox displays any applications that require you (or someone on your team) to take action. Look at the State column to identify the reason for the needed action. Click on the name of the submission to open it. See the Action Needed by Submission State table below for an explanation of action needed.

| State | Action Needed |
|---|---|
| Pre-Submission | Complete the application forms. The PI聽or PI proxy must submit to HSD before review begins. |
| Clarification Requested | Edit the SmartForm and attachments to clarify as needed, and provide summary notes to the IRB when submitting the changes. The PI聽or PI proxy must submit the response.
Note: If the clarification was requested from Committee Review, you can only provide notes. You are not allowed to edit the study. |
| Modifications Required | Modify the application to meet IRB requirements and submit it with changes. The PI聽or PI proxy must submit the response. |
| Deferred | Review the deferral letter from the IRB. Edit the SmartForm and attachments to clarify as needed, and provide summary notes to the IRB when submitting the changes. The PI聽or PI proxy must submit the response. |
The My Reviews tab displays a subset of the submissions in My Inbox where you have been assigned as a reviewer. This tab is most helpful for faculty advisors and IRB members. For most users, nothing will display in this tab.

The Submissions area contains all IRB submissions, regardless of type and state. Note that the submissions you see depend on your user permissions.



| Tab Name | Description |
|---|---|
| In-Review | Shows all applications that are currently in the review process for the 91爆料 IRB. This includes applications requiring action from anyone, not just you or your team. |
| Active | Shows all studies that have completed the review process and are currently active.聽 This includes studies with lapsed approval and studies with determinations of Not Human Research or Human Research, Not Engaged. |
| New Information Reports | Shows all reports of new information. This includes reports that are in review and reports that have completed the review process. |
| External IRB | Shows all 91爆料 studies that are being reviewed by a non-91爆料 IRB, as well as any modifications or updates associated with external IRB studies. |
| Relying Sites | Shows non-91爆料 sites for institutions relying on the 91爆料 for IRB review. |
| Archived | Shows all submissions that are no longer active due to closure, termination, being discarded, or being withdrawn. Also includes some studies with a determination of Not Research, Not Human Research, or Human Research, Not Engaged. |
| All Submissions | Shows all submissions, regardless of type or state. |
Many pages contain tables you can filter and sort to help you find the data you want.


Click the column header you want to use to sort. Click it a second time to reverse the sort order. The arrow indicates the column by which the data is sorted and the sort order, either ascending (up arrow) or descending (down arrow).

Once you open a study, you see the study workspace. While there are minor differences depending on the submission type, the workspaces are very similar for all types of IRB submissions. The workspace is your access point for:
The figure below identifies the key workspace elements that help you find your way around the IRB system and perform actions on the study.

The key elements shown are:

Detailed study information is available under the basic study information. Additional information can be found by viewing the submission SmartForm. It is organized by tabs, and there will be variation in the tabs that are available depending on the type and state of the submission.

The most important tabs are:
Actions available to you will vary depending on your user role and the state of the submission.

Zipline applications consist of a SmartForm application and required attachments that are completed and uploaded to the SmartForm. Click View Study (or Edit Study) to see the SmartForm. The forms contain a consistent set of navigation options.
The navigator persists on screen, but can be collapsed if desired. It lists all the SmartForm steps, or pages, that are available for the application. The current step is highlighted. A back button is not available- instead simply click the link to go to the desired page.

The Exit, Save, and Continue buttons maintain a fixed location in the bottom right portion of the screen as the user moves through the SmartForm steps.

The print button allows for printing the current step or the entire SmartForm.

Once your study is approved in Zipline, you will always find the most current approved version of the study documents in the initial study record.
![]()
Documents are divided into 2 sections depending on where they were uploaded in the SmartForms- Study Related Documents and Site Related Documents.
*To find site-specific documents for a relying non-91爆料 institution, go to the Documents tab in the related Site record.
**This contains all documents uploaded by the study team as a part of the application process and some documents uploaded by HSD staff, such as finalized Reliance Agreements and Information for Researchers.
A. Category: All documents are sorted by category. Most documents are assigned a category based on where they are uploaded in the study SmartForm.
B. Draft: The draft version of the document contains any previous tracked changes.
C. Final: The final version of the document contains HSD鈥檚 watermark for any consent materials.
D. Last Finalized: The date that HSD last reviewed and approved the document.
E. Document History: Easily access any previously uploaded versions of the document.

Once a study is in Zipline, it may have follow-on submissions associated with it. Follow-on submissions, such as modifications or continuing review reports, do not stand alone but instead contain additional information about the parent study.
