The first form (1 - Bulk Account Information Form) will automatically present for completion once you
are in the Forms section.
Bulk Account Form Overview
Once you are within the Forms section, you will be able to select which bulk account forms you want to
populate. The complete bulk application consists of four forms.
•
•
For a new bulk account application, all four forms must have all mandatory fields populated and
be saved as either:
o “Completed” for forms that DO NOT require approval (Bulk Information/Billing Form)
or
o “Approved”/“Not Required” for the forms that DO require approval (Bulk
Laboratory/Imaging Form)
For changes to an approved bulk application, only the form with the information that must be
changed has to be completed.
1. Bulk Account Information Form – this is primarily used to populate basic contact/demographic
information about the study team. There are also some general questions about the study. A new
bulk application won’t be finalized until this form is saved with a Form Status of “Completed”. As
noted above, this form will automatically present for completion once you are in the Forms section.
a. If you are filling out a brand new bulk account application, please start AND complete this
form before moving on to subsequent forms.
UC San Diego Health Sciences-Clinical & Translational Research Institute

2. Bulk Account Laboratory Form – this form is used to request research related
Laboratory/Anatomical Pathology services. The UCSD Clinical Laboratory Department is notified of a
pending request for services only when all mandatory fields are populated and the form is saved as
“Submitted”. A new bulk application won’t be finalized until this form is ultimately saved with a
Form Status of either “Approved” or “Not Required”. Hit the
present for completion.

3. Bulk Account Imaging Form – this form is used to request research related imaging services. The
UCSD Imaging Department is notified of a pending request for services only when all mandatory
fields are populated and the form is saved as “Submitted”. A new bulk application won’t be
finalized until this form is ultimately saved with a Form Status of either “Approved” or “Not
Required”. Hit the
button to have this form present for completion.
4. Bulk Account Billing Form – this form is used to capture all billing related questions pertaining to a
study, which includes operating ledger information and whether or not your study requires a case
rate. Once a “99” bulk number has been created for your study, it will be populated on this form by
the Information Services Department. A new bulk application won’t be finalized until this form is
saved with a Form Status of “Completed”. Hit the
completion.

Velos eResearch Bulk Application Manual
As described above, each form of the bulk application serves a very specific purpose. It is very
important to read all pertinent information on each form. However, the items below are consistent
across all forms:
•
The “Date Application Submitted” and “New or Revised Application” questions will have to be
answered for each form. These are the 1st two questions on all forms. All forms can either be a
“New” or “Revised” form type.
o If you are completing a bulk application that has never been finalized, please ensure the
form type on all four forms is set to “New”
o If you are updating information for a bulk application that has already been finalized,
please ensure the form type on the applicable form is saved as “Revised”
o Selecting the correct form type (“New” or “Revised”) is very important because it
helps ensure the appropriate parties are notified when necessary
•
All mandatory fields will have a * next to the question. If you are unable to answer all
mandatory questions when you are populating the form, you will be able to save the form as
“Incomplete” and return at a later time to finish. It is your responsibility to go back and change
the Form Status from “Incomplete” to “Completed”/”Submitted” once you have updated the
form with missing information.
•
You may see a
next to some questions. This is “help text” to provide additional
context/information relating to the question being asked. Hovering your mouse over the
question mark will allow the additional information to be seen.

Bulk Application Form Statuses
•
Each form will have “Form Status Instructions” right above the section where you set the form
status. Please read the instructions carefully as they are different for each form. Only the form
statuses of “Completed”, “Incomplete”, “Submitted”, and “Not Required” are allowable for the
applicant to use for the Bulk Account Application forms. Below is the definition for each form
status:
o “Incomplete” – Use this form status when you are unable to populate all mandatory
fields and need to return at a later date to populate those items. The system will
prohibit you from selecting any other form status when mandatory information is
missing with this error message:
o
o
o
“Completed” – Use this form status when you are able to populate all mandatory fields
AND it is either the Bulk Account Information Form or the Bulk Account Billing Form
“Submitted” – Use this form status when you are able to populate all mandatory fields
AND the form needs to be reviewed by either Laboratory or Imaging. Laboratory
and/or Imaging will not be notified of a pending form requiring their review until
these conditions are met
 For the forms requiring approval from the Laboratory or Imaging, the applicable
Department will change the form status to “Approved”. Applicants will not be
able to use this Form Status
“Not Required” – Use this form status ONLY on the Bulk Application
Laboratory/Imaging Form when you do not require Laboratory and/or Imaging services

All forms must have a Form Status set and be submitted. All form statuses are in the Form
Status drop down. The only form statuses allowable for the bulk account forms are
“Incomplete”, “Completed”, “Submitted”, and “Not Required”. Please note that you may see
additional form statuses within the Form Status drop down menu than the ones that are
allowed for this process. Please disregard them as they are not applicable to the bulk application
process.
