Enable Promoting an Inbox Item to Multiple Cases

Learn how to update your Vault's configuration to enable promoting an Inbox Item to multiple Cases.

Note Beginning with 24R1 in April 2024 and for all subsequent releases, Vault Safety General Release Help content is moving to a new site. Test the new site using Limited Release content.

About the Feature

This feature was added to Vault Safety in 22R1 and allows users to promote an Inbox Item to multiple Cases at once.

In the 22R3 Vault Safety Template, the conditions for the Promote to Multiple Cases user action were updated. Vaults created in 22R3 or later include this configuration by default. See the Add the User Action to the Inbox Item Lifecycle section for more detail.

See Promote an Inbox Item to Multiple Cases for more information about this feature.
