Learn about the fields available for verification and data entry on an Inbox Item.

This article describes the fields available for data entry on the Inbox Item. For more information about Inbox Items, including viewing, sorting, and creating new records, see Inbox Item Overview.

For imported Inbox Items, sections on the record’s detail page load asynchronously. Once a section has finished loading, you can view the data in that section. You can edit data when all sections have finished loading.

When entering data, picklist field values are accent-sensitive. Entering a value with an accent prioritizes results with accents.

If the Site Reporter field for Inbox Items is enabled in your Vault and this field is populated, Vault uses the Site Reporter’s specified country and language to set the Localization of the Inbox Item.

When the Auto-select Inbox Item Localization by Reporter Country feature is enabled, for primary Reporter type of Case Contacts, if the Country has a Localization record, the Localization on the Inbox Item is automatically set based on the reporter’s Country. Vault maps the Localization based on the following criteria:

  • If the reporter’s Country is mapped to one (1) language, that country and language are applied.
  • If the reporter’s Country is mapped to multiple languages, Vault references the Reporter Language field of the Inbox Item’s contact.
    • If a match is found, it is applied.
    • If no match is found, Vault checks for an English record.
    • If no English record exists, Vault applies the first Localization record in alphabetical order for that country.

How Vault Sets Inbox Item Localization Using Reporter Country and Report Type

Based on your Admin’s configuration, for imported Inbox Items, Vault may also consider the Inbox Item’s Report Type when attempting to set the Localization value on the Inbox Item based on the reporter’s locale. To find a match, the primary reporter’s Country and the Report Type must be populated on the Inbox Item. When the Report Type is Study, the Study field must also be populated to correctly set the Inbox Item’s Localization.

Vault attempts to match the Inbox Item’s Report Type and Study Type, when applicable, to a Localization record with a matching value in the Case Type field as follows:

  • If the Localization record’s Case Type is blank, that Localization can be matched regardless of the Report Type on the Inbox Item.
  • If the Localization record’s Case Type is Investigational, that Localization can be matched if the Report Type is a value with an E2B code of 2 and the Study Type is set to any of the following:
    • A value with an E2B code of 1, for example, Clinical Trial
    • blank
  • If the Localization record’s Case Type is Marketing, that Localization can be matched if:
    • The Report Type is not a value with an E2B code of 2. For example, the Report Type cannot be Study.
    • The Report Type is a value with an E2B code of 2 and the Study Type is not a value with an E2B code of 1. For example, the Study Type cannot be Clinical Trial.

For more information on Report Types and E2B mapping, see Configure Controlled Vocabularies.

When these conditions are met, Vault considers the following to find a match:

  • If a match for the primary reporter’s Country and Report Type is found, the corresponding Localization value is set on the Inbox Item.
  • If multiple matches for either the primary reporter’s Country or Report Type are found, Vault references the Reporter Language field of the Inbox Item’s contact.
    • If there is no Reporter Language, Vault checks for an English record.
    • If there are still multiple matches, Vault applies the first Localization record for that Country or Report Type.
  • If no matches are found for the primary reporter’s Country and Report Type, the Localization field of the Inbox Item is left blank.

If the Localization Type on the Localization record is Local, the Inbox Item is processed as a Domestic Case. If the Localization Type is Global, the Case is processed as a global Case.

Patient Section

The Patient section captures information about the patient who experienced the adverse event.

Inbox Item Patient Section

Field Description
Patient Initials Enter the patient's initials. If the source report omits this information, use the Reason Omitted field to describe why the information is unavailable.
Gender Select the patient's gender. If the source report omits this information, use the Reason Omitted field to describe why the information is unavailable. This field maps to the Sex field on Cases.
Pregnancy Case

Use this field to identify an Inbox Item as a Pregnancy Case for tracking pregnancy exposure or for reporting an adverse event experienced by the mother. See Process Pregnancy, Child Information, and Parent Information Cases for more information.

This field does not appear on layouts by default and must be added by your Admin.

Height The patient's height. In the first field, enter a number. In the second field, select the unit of measurement.
Date of Birth The patient's birth date. Use the calendar pop-up tool to select a date or enter the date manually. For this field to be exported to E2B Transmissions, the full date is required with year, month, and day. If the source report omits this information, use the Reason Omitted field to describe why the information is unavailable.
Age at Onset

The patient's age at the onset of the adverse event. Vault automatically calculates this field upon Case promotion. If you manually enter a value, and Vault later auto-calculates this field, the field is overwritten by the auto-calculated value.

Auto-Calculation

When you promote to Case, Vault automatically calculates this field using the time interval between the following dates:

  • The Case Date of Birth
  • The Case Adverse Event Event Onset. If an Event Onset is not available, Vault uses the Case Receipt Date.

When only partial dates are available, Vault calculates the age using the first day in the month or year entered. For example, if only "2021" is entered, the date 1/1/2021 is used.

Age Group The patient's age group at the onset of the adverse event, according to the following criteria:
Age Group Age at Onset
Fetus 0 weeks/days/hours/minutes old
Neonate More than 0 to less than 4 weeks old
Infant 4 weeks to less than 12 months old
Child 1 year to less than 12 years old
Adolescent 12 years to less than 18 years old
Adult 18 years to less than 65 years old
Elderly 65 years and older

Vault automatically calculates this field upon Case promotion or when the Age at Onset field on the Case is updated. If you manually enter a value, and Vault later recalculates this field, the field is overwritten by the auto-calculated value.

Auto-Calculation

Vault automatically calculates the age group based on the value in the Age at Onset field and by using the criteria listed above.

Date of Death Enter the date when the patient was reported as deceased. Use the calendar pop-up tool to select a date or enter the date manually. If the source report omits this information, use the Reason Omitted field to describe why the information is unavailable.

  • Investigation MRN — D.1.1.4 (R3) | B.1.1.1d (R2)
  • Specialist MRN — D.1.1.2 (R3) | B.1.1.1b (R2)
Select the MRN type from the drop-down list. Once you select the MRN type, the MRN Text field appears.
MRN Text The MRN number corresponding to the type selected in the MRN field. Enter one or more sets of MRN numbers. For this field to appear, you must select the MRN type from the MRN field.

Products Section

The Products section captures case products and drug history. When the Inbox Item is promoted to a Case, Vault creates the appropriate Case Products, along with their Product Registration and Drug History records according to the Type of Product. Vault promotes all Product and Study Product records, including Product records imported from E2B intake, during Case promotion.

Considerations for the Products Section

Consider the following when working with the Products section:

  • When you add a Company Product type of Product, after promoting the Inbox Item to a Case, the Transmission Product Type from the Registered As field of the Product Registration is mapped to the Globally Registered As field of the Product. Available Transmission Product Types include the following:
    • Drug
    • Biologic
    • Device
    • Vaccine
    • Nutritional
    • Cosmetic
    • OTC Drug
    • OTC Device
    • Combination Product
      Your Vault may not be configured to display the Globally Registered As field, which is intended for Admin use only.
  • For manual Study report intake, the Products section is meant only to capture concomitant medication and drug history. When you select a Study Arm in the Details section, Vault maps the appropriate study Case Products to the Case from the Study library.
  • If all Product fields (excluding Rank, Type, and Drug Role) are left blank, Vault ignores the Case Product when promoting to Case.
  • If you add a new Product record, Vault populates that record Type as Case Product. You can edit this setting.
  • You can also add Study Products before promoting the Inbox Item to a Case.
  • Depending on your Admin’s configuration, suspect Case Products may include those with a Drug Role of Drug Not Administered. For more information, see Enable Extend Definition of Suspect to Drug Not Administered.

Product Fields

Inbox Item Products Section

Field Description
Rank The Case Product ranked as 1 identifies the primary Product. To order Products by rank, enter the rank number. Ranked records appear in ascending order.
Type (Required) This field allows you to classify the product as either:
  • Case Product
  • Drug History

Upon Case promotion, this classification determines whether this product becomes a Case Product or a Drug History record.

Drug Role

For Products of Case Product type, if the Study Arm field is not blank, Vault automatically populates this field with Concomitant. You can not edit this field.

If the Study Arm field is blank, select the characterization of the Drug Role in the Adverse Event as provided by the primary reporter or sender.

A valid Individual Case Safety Report (ICSR) must include at least one Case Product with a Drug Role of either Suspect, Interacting, or Drug Not Administered.

The following options are available by default, however your Vault may have additional Drug Role Controlled Vocabularies configured:

Drug Role Option Description
Suspect Identifies a product suspected to have contributed to the adverse event.
Interacting Identifies a product suspected to have an interaction with another product.
Concomitant Identifies a product taken by the patient at the time the reaction was observed.
