Details Section
Use the Details section to specify general information about the Case.
Field | Description |
---|---|
Case Number | The system generates a Case Number and populates this field when a Case is created. You cannot edit this field. Outside of Edit mode, hovering over the Case Number link displays the UID and Worldwide UID. |
UID |
This field appears when you hover over the Case Number. The UID is a system-generated E2B-compliant unique identifier that is composed in the following format:{Country}-{Organization UID Code}-{Case Number} where:
Note The system does not update the UID for Imported Cases or Follow-up Cases. |
Worldwide UID |
This field appears when you hover over the Case Number. The worldwide unique case identification (WWUID) identifies an external safety case. For example, a previously submitted case received from an MAH or partner. You can manually enter the Worldwide UID on an AER or Inbox Item before promoting to a Case. Otherwise, the system automatically populates the field upon Case promotion using the value in the Organization UID Code field for the Organization associated with the Case, if available. Note Once the Worldwide UID is populated on a Case, it does not change even if the Case UID is updated. |
Receipt Date | (Required) The date the event was first reported. This date starts the regulatory clock in calculating expedited reporting (for example, 7-day or 15-day reports). Use the calendar to select the date or enter the date manually. Specify the year, month, and day at a minimum. The time is optional. |
Initial Receipt Date | The Receipt Date entered on the AER or Inbox Item becomes the Initial Receipt Date upon Case promotion. This is a lookup field that appears for Follow-up Cases only. Because this is a lookup field, if the Receipt Date on the original AER or Inbox Item changes after Case promotion, the audit trail on the referenced object does not reflect the change. |
New Info Date |
The latest date when additional information was received about the case.
Use the calendar to select the date or enter the date manually. You must specify the year, month, and day at a minimum. Time is optional. There can be only one New Info Date per Case version. If you overwrite this field with a new date, any previously recorded New Info Dates will appear in the audit trail. |
Report Type | (Required) The method in which the adverse event was reported by the primary source. Select the appropriate report type. |
Due Date | The system calculates the Case reporting due date and populates this field using the seriousness criteria, expectedness, and watchlist tags. If the Case is re-assessed and these criteria change, the system automatically updates the due date. To learn more, see Reporting Rule Parameter Reference. |
Watchlist Tags | The system automatically populates this field using causality assessments on primary Case Assessment Results. To learn more, see How Case Watchlist Tags and DMEs are Assigned. |
Event (PT) | The MedDRA Preferred Term (PT) coded on the primary Case Adverse Event. If the Case Adverse Event has not been coded, this field is blank. This field dynamically updates to match the primary Case Adverse Event. |
Seriousness | The level of impact the adverse event had on the patient. The system automatically populates this field using the most severe seriousness criteria entered on the primary Case Adverse Event. |
Listedness (Core) | Whether the primary Case Adverse Event is listed on the Datasheet for the Study or Product. The system populates this field using the Listed value in the primary Case Assessment. To override the system-calculated value, select a different option. Once overridden, the system stops syncing the Case Listedness field with the primary Case Assessment. To learn more, see Manage Datasheets and Auto-Expectedness. This field does not appear on page layouts by default and must be added by your Admin. |
Expectedness | Whether the case is expected. That is, whether the primary Case Adverse Event is listed on the relevant Product, Study, or Study Product Datasheet. The system populates this field using the Expected value in the primary Case Assessment. To override the system-calculated value, select a different option. Once overridden, the system stops syncing the Case Expectedness field with the primary Case Assessment. To learn more, see Manage Datasheets and Auto-Expectedness. |
Relatedness | The system automatically populates this field using causality assessments on primary Case Assessment Results. To learn more, see How Case Relatedness is Calculated. |
Expedited |
Indicates whether the case requires expedited reporting.
The system automatically sets this field to Yes (expedited) when one of the following conditions are met:
|
CIOMS Remarks | Enter any comments or additional information that should be populated in field 26. REMARKS on the CIOMS I form. To learn more, see CIOMS I Generation Data Mapping. |
Validation Status |
The calculated Validation Result for the Case. The following list describes the Validation Status field values:
Note You cannot trigger the Submit to Gateway action if the Validation Status is Hard Fail. The system will not trigger auto-submission if the Validation Status is Fail or Hard Fail. |
Suppress Submission | Select this field to prevent the system from generating Submissions or including this Case in aggregate reporting. This field can be used to track and monitor non-submittable cases (for example, pregnancy, invalid, or nullified cases). To learn more, see Suppress Submissions of a Case Version. |
Source Document | The source document for the report. Use the link in this field to navigate to the source document. The system populates this field automatically when a document is used to create the Case. Otherwise, you can select the document manually. |
Version | The version of the source document. Use the link in this field to navigate to the source document. The system populates this field when you attach or create the Case from a source file. |
Follow-Up Rule | Select the Follow-Up Rule for the questionnaires with which the system should attempt to match the Case, Inbox Item, or AER. If you leave this field blank and select Send Follow-Up, the system uses Invalid Case (Missing Parameters) as the default value. To learn more, see Send a Follow-Up Email Questionnaire to a Case Reporter. This field does not appear on page layouts by default and must be added by your Admin. |
Send Follow-Up | Select this field to trigger the system to evaluate whether this Case, Inbox Item, or AER matches the criteria for one or more questionnaires. After running the process to generate questionnaires, the system clears this field. To learn more, see Send a Follow-Up Email Questionnaire to a Case Reporter. This field does not appear on page layouts by default and must be added by your Admin. |
Reason Received Late | Enter information to specify the reason why the case was received late. This field does not appear on page layouts by default and must be added by your Admin. |
External System UID | Unique Identifier for an external system. You can manually enter the External System UID on an Inbox Item before promoting to a Case or on the Case itself. This field does not appear on page layouts by default and must be added by your Admin. |
Initial Case | When a Follow-Up Case is created, the Initial Case field for this record is automatically populated with the original Case. This field does not appear on page layouts by default and must be added by your Admin. |
Special Report Classification | This field applies to Cases reportable to the PMDA only. Select whether the Case is a Safety Measure Report or a Research Report for PMDA. This field does not appear on page layouts by default and must be added by your Admin. |
Access Group |
The assigned Access Group based on the Case.
The system assigns Case Access Groups that share the most details with the Case, based on the following criteria:
This field does not appear on page layouts by default. Depending on your organization’s security configuration, it may be added by your Admin. Note If Case or Access Group details change, authorized users can trigger Case Access Group recalculation manually using the Calculate Case Access Group action. We recommend limited use of this action, which takes up significant system resources. |
Intake Format | Displays the format the Inbox Item was created from, such as an E2B file. This field does not appear on page layouts by default and must be added by your Admin. |
Intake Method | Displays the method of intake for the Inbox Item, such as Email. This field does not appear on page layouts by default and must be added by your Admin. |
Market Segment | Displays the market segment associated with the study for Study Cases or the primary Product for postmarket Cases. This field does not appear on page layouts by default and must be added by your Admin. |
Device Details Section
For the Device Details section to appear, the Case must have a Case Product that is a Combination Product. Use this section to classify the report type and specify details specific to device-type Case Products. You can specify further product-specific details in the Device-type Case Product.
If this section does not appear for a Combination Product Case, your Admin must enable the Combination Products feature to make these fields appear.
Your Admin can configure your Vault for data entry for Remedial Actions and Malfunction at the Case Product Device level. Device-specific information is synced to the Case level. This is useful for Cases that involve multiple Combination Products or a Combination Product that has multiple device constituents. For more information, see Enable Remedial Actions and Malfunction for Combination Products to make these fields appear.
This Case is Locked Section
The This Case is Locked section appears when a user manually locks a Case.
This section provides details on the date the case was locked and the user who locked it. This feature is not available by default unless your Admin configures the feature.
When a case is locked, the system prevents the users saving changes to the Case and child records until you unlock the Case. All Case child records (Case Assessment, Case Product, and so on) are locked, with the exception of Parental Case and Case Number records.

Field | Description |
---|---|
Locked By | The user who manually locked the Case from editing. This system automatically populates this field. Users with the appropriate permissions can use this field to reassign a locked Case or clear it to unlock the Case. |
Locked Date | The date when the case was locked. This system automatically populates this field. |
Contacts Section
When you promote an Inbox Item or AER to a Case, the system copies the reporter and patient information to automatically create Case Contacts.
Types of Case Contacts
The following list describes the types of Case Contacts:
- Reporter: Captures information about the person who reported the case. A Reporter-type contact is created for patients or health care professionals who are also the reporter.
- Patient: Captures information about the patient.
- Health Care Professional: Captures information about the health care professional who treated the patient for the adverse event that resulted in hospitalization or treatment.
- Base Case Contact: Captures information about contacts who are not reporters, patients, or health care professionals who have information relevant to the adverse event.
- Facility: Captures information about the facility where a vaccine dosage was administered. A Case Product Dosage can then reference a Facility record using the Administration Facility field.
Note From Inbox Item promotion, Facility-type Case Contacts are created only through the Intake API from JSON files.
How Case Contacts are Automatically Created and Updated
In each new Case, the system creates a Reporter-type Case Contact, using information from the Inbox Item or AER contact information. The system also snapshots patient information to the Reporter-type contact when the patient is also the reporter.
If the patient was not the reporter, the system creates a separate Patient-type Case Contact. The system determines whether the patient is also the reporter using the Patient value specified in the Reporter Qualification field on the AER or Inbox Item.
Expand the following sections to learn more about how Reporter and Patient Case Contacts are created and populated.
- When the Patient is the Reporter
Note By default, the Qualification Controlled Vocabulary record corresponding to Patient is inactive. Your Admin must activate this record to make this Qualification option available.
If the Reporter Qualification field is set to Patient:
- The patient is considered the primary reporter
- A Patient-type Case Contact is not created
- The patient information fields are automatically populated on the primary Reporter Case Contact
- Any time the Patient name fields are updated on the Case, the system automatically updates the corresponding fields on the primary Reporter Case Contact
- When the Patient is Not the Reporter
If the Reporter Qualification field is not set to Patient:
- The system creates a Patient-type Case Contact record, in addition to the Reporter Case Contact
- The patient information fields are automatically populated on the Patient Case Contact
- Any time the Patient name fields are updated on the Case, the system updates the corresponding fields on the Patient Contact. You can only have one Patient Contact per Case.
If the AER did not specify these fields and they are later added to the Case directly, the system copies the patient name fields from the AER to create a new Patient Contact.
Add a Case Contact Record
Use the Case Contacts section to enter information about the reporting sources.
Note Each Case must have a primary Reporter-type Case Contact. As such, you cannot delete a primary Reporter record. If a primary Reporter must be deleted, you can designate a different Reporter as primary using the Rank field, and then delete the non-primary Reporter.
- On the Case page, expand Contacts.
- Select Create.
- In the Create Case Contact window, select the type of contact.
- Complete the Create Reporter page.
- Select Save
Result
The Case Contact is added to the Case.

Products Section
Use the Products section on the Case to enter information about suspect and concomitant medications, including products suspected to have an interaction. For Cases under a Study, this section label appears as Products (Study).

When an Inbox Item or AER is promoted to a Case, the system copies the product information to create the primary Case Product record using the appropriate product type:
- Company Product (Drug, Biologic, Device, Vaccine, or Company Product): If a Product from the company library was selected on the source Inbox Item or AER, then the system creates the Case Product of that type.
- Study Product: If the Inbox Item or AER specified a Study, then the system snapshots the Study Products to the Case.
If your Admin has preconfigured Study Arms related to the Case, the Study Products are automatically downloaded from the study arm selected in the Adverse Event Report. - External Product: If the Inbox Item or AER does not link to a preconfigured Product, then the product details are added as an External Product.
- Combination Product: If a Combination Product was selected on the Inbox Item or AER, its constituents are automatically downloaded and added as separate Case Products when the Case is promoted. Each constituent Product inherits the Combination Product Drug Role.
Tip If the Inbox Item was promoted with a constituent product in error, you can edit the Combination Product field of the Product. The related constituent products are automatically downloaded and added as separate Case Products.
Note Each Case must have a primary Case Product. As such, you cannot delete a primary Case Product record. If a primary Case Product must be deleted, you can designate a different Case Product as primary using the Rank field, and then delete the non-primary Case Product.
