Navigate Vault Safety

The tabs that appear in the navigation bar depend on your account permissions and your system's custom configuration.

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.

Use the following animation to interact with Vault Safety’s Home page. Note that this vault contains standard configuration and that certain things may appear differently in your vault.

Inbox

Perform intake on the Inbox tab. Your Vault may have an Inbox configured for AERs and/or Inbox Items. Refer to your organization’s standard operating procedures for guidance.

The Inbox organizes reports into a detailed table, providing at-a-glance key information. You can sort the reports in ascending or descending order using any column in the table, such as Product, Organization, Seriousness, Due Date, and more.
