Learn how to update your Vault’s configuration to enable tracking Substances in individual Products.

About the Feature

Vault Safety can now track substances and their use in individual products. When adding a Case Product that is associated with a pre-configured Substance, the substance information is snapshotted to the Case Product.

This feature was added to Vault Safety in 20R2 and is available in Vaults deployed in 20R2 or later by default. For Vaults deployed in 20R1 or earlier, an administrator must perform the following configuration changes to enable this feature.

Manage Products and Manage Studies provide more information about this feature.

If the section is not present, insert a related object section for Substances.
