- To help users manage their time for the VGO, it is possible to display a counter that shows the amount of days left before the VGO has to be submitted.
- If a study falls within the WMO, a new field shows up that asks when the VGO has to be submitted. Based on this date, the counter will show the amount of days left.
- The counter can be added to the study overview as a new column.
- The number will become red when there are 3 days or less left.
- Filtering is available in most overviews. These filters can be found on top of the overview and commonly used filters can be saved using the 'Save' button to the right.
