About Derived Fields

Derived fields are standardized definitions in Workbench to simplify filtering for Cases in reports (including aggregate reports) and displaying fields. Workbench provisions standardized definitions of derived fields. To customize derived fields according to your business needs, contact your Veeva Representative.

Standardized Derived Fields

The following table describes some standard derived fields and the Workbench aggregate report in which they are applied:

Derived Field Definition Workbench Aggregate Report
Case Category Cases can be categorized as one (1) of the following:
  • Spontaneous: Cases with a Report Type of Spontaneous (E2B code=1), Other (E2B code=2), or Not Available (E2B code=3)
  • Interventional: Cases that meet criteria for one (1) of the following:
    • Contains a Report Type of Study (E2B code=2) and a Study Type of Clinical Trial (E2B code=1)
    • Contains a Report Type of Study (E2B code=2), a Study Type with a blank value or an invalid E2B code, and where Literature is not set to Yes
  • Non-Interventional: Cases that do not meet any of the above criteria
  • DSUR
  • PBRER
  • PADER
  • SAR
Case Completed This field simplifies Case lifecycle states to determine whether a Case is closed and can be included in certain reports, or open and should not be included in reports. Vault uses the following criteria to determine a Case lifecycle state:
  • Voided: Cases that are in the Voided (voided_state__v) lifecycle state
  • Nullified: Cases that are in the Nullified (nullified_state__v) lifecycle state
  • Closed: Cases that are in one (1) of the following lifecycle states:
    • Approved (approved_state__v)
    • Closed (closed_state__v)
    • Superseded (superseded_state__v)
  • Open: Cases that do not meet any of the above criteria
  • DSUR
  • PBRER
Masking Vault determines whether the Case data is eligible for masked, unmasked, or both reports using the following criteria:
  • Masked: Case records with a Blinding Type of Blinded
  • Unmasked: Case records with a Blinding Type of Unblinded
  • Both: Case records with a Blinding Type of Open
  • DSUR
  • PBRER
  • PADER
  • SAR
Receipt/New Info Date This field provides the following mapping logic:
  1. Vault maps this value from the New Info Date on the Case.
  2. If the New Info Date on the Case is blank, Vault maps the value from the Receipt Date on the Case.

  • PBRER
