22R3 Template Revisions

Learn about system template changes in Vault Safety 22R3.

Note Beginning with 23R3 content and for all subsequent releases, Vault Release Notes is the official site for Vault Safety release notes.

Vault Safety template revisions include changes to vault configuration for general usability improvements. Template revisions are not automatically rolled out to existing customers.

New vaults created in 22R3 or later will have the following settings by default. Vaults created in an earlier release can optionally be updated to match these changes. The sections on this page provide the instructions to enable these changes.

This page does not cover how to update your template to support new features. The 22R3 New Features page outlines which features require configuration upgrades, and provides links to enablement instructions for each feature.


Grant Edit Access to the Marked as Follow-Up State

Configuration updates have been made to the 22R3 template for the Inbox Item Lifecycle state. Edit permissions were granted to the Marked as Follow-Up state for certain roles so that these users can promote an Inbox Item that was marked for follow-up.

These configuration changes are documented in Enable Merge to In-Flight Case.

Add Administrators as an Editor to the Template Document Type

This configuration allows administrators access to Controlled Document Templates by default.
Perform the following steps to add the Administrator group to the Editor role on the Template Document Type:

  1. Go to Configuration > Document Types > Template (template__v).
  2. Go to the Security tab.
  3. In the Editors field, add Administrators.
  4. Save the page.

Update Deletion Rules for Case Children Objects

Use the table and configuration steps below to set the Deletion Rules to Cascade delete children records for certain Case children objects. This ensures that when you delete an object record, the system also deletes any object records that have the deleted record as their parent.

Configurable object Deletion Rules is a Vault Platform capability. See Vault Help for more information.

  1. Go to Configuration > Objects > [object] > Fields tab > [field].
    The following table displays the objects and the respective object fields for which to perform the configuration:
    Object Field
    Case Product Dosage Case Product
    Case Product Indication
    Case Product Substance
    Case Assessment Result Case Assessment
    Case Assessment Expectedness

Certain workflows were deprecated and removed from the 22R3 template.

To delete a workflow, go to Configuration > Workflows. Then, select Delete from the All Actions menu that appears next to the workflow upon hovering over it. Delete the following workflows:

  • distribution_manual__c
  • submission_manual_submission__c
  • submission_fda_esg_workflow__c
  • submission_ema_eudravigilance_workflow__c

Update the Transmission Lifecycle Entry and User Actions

Go to Configuration > Object Lifecycles > Transmission Lifecycle. Use the following images to update the Entry and User Actions for the following states:

Configure Auto-Submit for Transmission Profiles

Set Auto-Submit to No for the out-of-the-box Transmission Profiles. Configuring auto-submit and updating the Ready state in the previous section prevents Gateway Transmissions from automatically starting. This will result in generated Transmissions to go to the “Ready” state instead of the “Pending” state.

To do this, go to Business Admin > Transmission Profiles. Select the appropriate Transmission Profiles and go to the Outbound Settings section. Update the Auto-Submit field to No and save the page.

Update Workflow Task Due Dates

This enhancement allows task due dates to update dynamically as the Case due date updates over the course of Case processing.

Perform this configuration for certain workflows by going to Configuration > Workflows > [workflow]. Select the task steps. Then, in the Due Date section, select the Update active task due date when field is updated checkbox.

Use the following table to perform this configuration for the appropriate workflow tasks and ensure the Due Date fields are populated as shown:

  • Case Triage
  • Case Triage (Follow-Up)
  1. Go to Configuration > Workflows > [workflow].
  2. Select the Start step.
  3. In the Roles allowed to participate field, remove Owner.
  4. Save the page.

  2. Select Create > Submit to Gateway and complete the following information:
    • Label: Submit to Gateway
    • Name: async_submit_to_gateway__c
  3. Save the page.

Note To enable the Async Submit to Gateway action, you must set the Auto-Submit field to Yes for the appropriate Transmission Profiles and configure the Submit to Gateway action on the Case lifecycle.
