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.
