# Enable Suppress Submissions

Learn how to upgrade your Vault's configuration to enable the ability to suppress case submissions.

## About the Feature

Veeva Safety 21R1 adds the ability to suppress submissions for a Case. This feature is controlled using the **Suppress Submission** (`suppress_submission__v`) field on the Case (`case_version__v`) object. 

<a href="/en/lr/01259/#suppress-submissions">Suppress Submissions of a Case</a> provides more information on how to use this feature.

## Add the Suppress Submission Field to Case Layout

In Vaults originally deployed in a release earlier than 21R1 (April 2021), you must add the **Suppress Submission** field to the **Case Page Layout**.

<ol>
    <li>In the Admin area, go to <strong>Configuration > Objects</strong>.</li>
    <li>Open the <strong>Case</strong> (<code class="greycode">case_version__v</code>) object.</li>
    <li>From the <strong>Layouts</strong> tab, select the <strong>Case Page Layout</strong> (<code class="greycode">case_page_layout__c</code>) for editing.</li>
    <li>Add the <strong>Suppress Submission</strong> (<code class="greycode">suppress_submission__v</code>) field to the layout. We recommend adding this field to the <strong>Details</strong> section.</li>
</ol>

## Update Permission Sets 

Update the appropriate Permissions Set(s) to grant edit permissions to the **Suppress Submissions** field on the Case object.

## Update the Case Approved State Entry Actions

<ol>
    <li>Go to <strong>Configuration > Object Lifecycles > Case Lifecycle</strong> (<code>case_processing_lifecycle__v</code>).</li>
    <li>Under <strong>States</strong>, open the <strong>Approved</strong> (<code>approved_state__v</code>) state.</li>
    <li>Under <strong>Entry Actions</strong>, select <strong>Edit</strong>, and then make the following changes:
        <ul>
            <li>Remove the Entry Action to <strong>Always Assign Due Date</strong>.</li>
            <li>Add a conditional Entry Action, where if Suppress Submission is blank, Assign Due Date.</li>
        </ul>
    </li>
</ol>
