Purpose and prerequisites
Only a System Administrator with Settings.Manage can change global settings. These apply across Accounts; ordinary Account Administrators cannot change them. Coordinate operational impact before saving.
Section 1: Configure the limits
- Open System Settings and locate Master Application Settings, formerly named Supply.
- Set Max master randomization data quantity per study, default 2,000. Values must be positive integers, up to the supported ceiling of 200,000.
- Set Cold-chain telemetry & excursions records per site, default 100,000 combined records.
- Review the automatic resupply evaluation interval, which remains in the same section.
- Save settings and read the result. Changes are audit-logged.
Section 2: Master-row enforcement
The per-study limit includes over-allocation, stratification and complete blocks. Master generation, imports, dummy previews, creation from a saved dummy and automatic block extension enforce it. A target sample size below the limit can still produce too many rows after balancing. Existing master data is not deleted when the limit is lowered.
Section 3: Combined cold-chain enforcement
At each site the limit counts temperature readings plus excursion records, including excursions that the incoming batch would open. A batch exceeding a site's limit is rejected in full, rather than partially accepted or used to delete historical data. Updating or closing an existing excursion is not a new excursion record, but its temperature reading still counts. This setting is per site; depot and shipment locations are not subject to this specific quota.
Troubleshooting and safe escalation
If a limit is reduced below existing usage, records remain and new growth is blocked. Review the configured value and approved capacity needs with the System Administrator. Do not delete regulated telemetry or split an over-limit batch to circumvent the quota. Failed ingestion must be handled through the approved monitoring and escalation procedure.
