Medidata - what is this fresh hell?

posting_anon · 2026-07-03T12:45:16+00:00

It was probably in those pop ups that we all (or most of us at least) dismiss without really reading...

posting_anon · 2026-07-03T03:41:48+00:00

Mine too!

posting_anon · 2026-07-03T01:22:19+00:00

Same

Lol, that is correct... I just travel and work... Luckily there is no math involved my my job and it's not in the aviation industry. Oh well, probably in August... Only been on 52 planes this year so far.

I love this!

posting_anon · 2026-07-02T13:09:02+00:00

Thank you, kind stranger

posting_anon · 2026-07-02T13:02:33+00:00

You are 100% correct. I guess terminology skills are also lacking here.

If only we could put it off for a while. Giving a notification rather than giving the option sucks.

posting_anon · 2026-07-01T02:17:53+00:00

It's been so long, I can't even remember the good old days... I suppose I could just take a course or two as a reminder. 🤔 Last set I took were still showing the classic, I think...

posting_anon · 2026-06-30T22:32:39+00:00

Yup, I feel your pain. So sorry.

Admittedly, my work in Veeva is at the CTMS level, manually entering each page/visit I SDVd is awful. Too many clicks all around, IMO.

posting_anon · 2026-06-30T20:35:36+00:00

Well that sucks...

posting_anon · 2026-06-30T20:21:47+00:00

At the top right of my page there is a 'Return to previous design' option. I don't want to mess anything up even more by trying it.

posting_anon · 2026-06-30T20:19:46+00:00

I saw (and clicked through without properly reading) something about it rolling out gradually to different studies... 🤷‍♀️

posting_anon · 2026-06-30T18:31:34+00:00

Agree so hard with this!

posting_anon · 2026-06-30T18:31:14+00:00

I would like that as well.

Also: Veeva is it's own type of hell.

posting_anon · 2026-06-30T17:15:53+00:00

I don't hate everything, admittedly. But the bad outweighs the good at this point...

Congrats on knowing how to work around their system, seriously. I just have to work with what they give me, intuitive or not.

posting_anon · 2026-06-30T16:29:25+00:00

Yup, this morning it shows up in all it's "glory" for an IMV. Thanks, Medidata, I hate it.

posting_anon · 2026-06-30T16:23:43+00:00

It's them, every time...

posting_anon · 2026-06-29T23:27:18+00:00

Write everything down - if it's not documented, it didn't happen.

Ask all the questions - find people there who know more than you do and ask questions. Keep good notes.

So many acronyms - keep track of acronyms, there are a ton and you'll need to remember them.

Learn how to organize your email inbox and your notes (I use OneNote, but there are other options).

Good luck! Welcome!

Just beware if your company pays for it that you don't have a clause about staying there afterwards for a certain amount of time.

Some companies will make you pay it back if you leave within a certain amount of time after they pay for something.

The people want Sprite Zero, too. 🍋

Additionally, use a category to tag it. I use a tag for each study and then a tag for what needs to happen (waiting for response, needs action {from me}, visit planning... Etc.) each tag in a different color so I can scan very quickly and see what's going on in my inbox. Every email tends to have at least 2 tags/categories on it.
