Enable Support for Unconstrained UCUM for Test Result Units

Learn how to update your vault's configuration to support test result units from the unconstrained (infinite) UCUM dictionary to align with E2B(R3) specifications.

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

With the 22R2 release, Vault Safety now supports test result units from the unconstrained (infinite) UCUM dictionary, to align with E2B(R3) specifications. This support will extend to migrations, E2B imports, E2B/CIOMS/3500A generation and case processing.

To enable this feature for users, you must complete the following setup:

  • Grant Edit permissions for Case Test Result fields.
  • Update the Case Test Result page layout to include the Result (Unit) Text field.

To learn more about this feature, see E2B Case Import Data Mapping, Enter Case Data, and E2B/CIOMS/3500A generation data mapping.

Configure Edit Permission for Result (Unit) Text

To enable entering custom units of measurement, you must update user permission sets to include Edit access to the Result (Unit) Text field on the Case Test Result object, where appropriate. For example, the Case Entry Actions permission set should have Edit access to this field.

If a permission set has default access to Edit All Object Fields, users assigned that permission set will be able to edit the Result (Unit) Text field with no extra configuration required.
