Learn how to enable masked distributions for study and patient content protection.
About the Feature
Masked content distributions were added in Vault Safety 20R1. This feature works with the Vault Safety Transmissions and Reporting Family objects.
This feature allows administrators and Distribution Manager users to generate Distribution records and ICSRs that selectively mask sensitive patient or blinded study data, while continuing to generate unmasked Submission records for regulatory agencies.
Once you enable this feature, configurable field masking allows you to mask or unmask certain fields in masked distributions.
The following pages also describe how to use masked distributions:
- Generate Masked Safety Reports provides information about how masked distributions work and which fields are masked.
- Set Up Partner Distribution Lists provides information for administrators on how to set up reporting rules that automatically generate masked distributions.
- Create a Distribution provides information for Distribution Manager users on how to manually create masked distributions.
