# Enable Partial Dates for Case Product Device Fields

Learn how to update your Vault's configuration to enable partial date entry for Case product device fields.

## About the Feature

With the 22R2 release, Veeva Safety provides partial date entry for _Case Product_ device fields.

This enhancement enables users to enter a full date or a partial date in the following fields:

* _Expiration Date_
* _Date Implanted_
* _Date Explanted_
* _Returned Date_

A partial date is one that specifies only the year or both the year and the month.

Upgraded Vaults must perform the following configuration changes to enable this feature.

## Enable the Partial Date Entry Checkbox on Application Settings Page

Navigate to **Admin > Settings > Application Settings > Safety General Settings** to enable the **Allow partial date entry for Case Product Expiration, Implanted Date, Explanted Date, Returned Date** setting.

## Update Case Product Layouts
