This article describes the fields available for Inbox Item data entry. Vault populates certain fields based on your Admin’s configuration and, for generated Inbox Items, based on source data. Sections load asynchronously on generated Inbox Items. You can view the data in that section when it finishes loading and you can edit data when all sections finish loading. To modify values, select the Edit (edit-icon) icon on the record’s detail page. Some fields populated by Vault are read-only and you cannot modify them. When editing, you can select any Delete button to mark the associated section for deletion. When selecting values from drop-downs, field values are accent-sensitive (entering a value with an accent prioritizes results with accents). When you save an Inbox Item, Vault validates field values to ensure accuracy.
