# Protocol Page

:lock: Protocol.**Show**

The **Protocol** page displays all the operations that can be performed within a specific **Protocol**.
Additionally, it displays the details of the **Protocol** in different view modes, as described below.  

## Details View

The **Details** view displays all the following information:

* **Details** - displays general information on the **Protocol**.
* **Parameters** - shows the entire list of parameters within the **Protocol** scope (parameters library).
* **Active instances** - enables the visualization and the possibility to open the instance from the **Protocol**.
* **Attachments** - shows the documents that are attached to the **Protocol**.
* **History** - displays the history of the operations, associated information, user(s), date and time.

## Flowchart View

The **Flowchart** view presents the flowchart of the Protocol's state and its flow of states.

The information that is displayed in the flowchart is subject to being modified on the right-hand side column, in the View tab.
Setting the buttons **Description**, **Role**, **Checklist** and **Parameters** to `true` will add each of these details to the flowchart state, while setting them to `false` will remove them from the flowchart state.

In this view, it is also possible to edit the **Protocol** state, in case the **Protocol** is in system state Created. To do so, select the three-dot menu of the **Protocol** state and select **Settings**.
For more information, see [[user-guide-create-protocol]].  

In case the **Protocol** state is Active or Effective, it will not be possible to edit the system state. A **New Version** of the **Protocol** will have to be created for the modifications to be carried out.
