Learn how to withdraw Submission and Distribution records.

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.

Note Depending on your Admin's configuration, object, field, and section labels, lifecycle states, and workflows may differ from the general information on this page. Refer to your organization's business processes for guidance.

Transmission Record State Requirements

In Vault Safety’s out-of-box configuration, all Transmission records (Submissions and Distributions) linked to a Case must be in the Completed state before you can close the associated Case.

If a Submission or Distribution was created in error or must be removed for another reason, you can withdraw the record, which will enable Distribution Manager users to close the Case.

Withdraw a Transmission

To withdraw a Transmission record, an administrator must first add the user action. Once the user action is configured, you can change a Transmission record’s state by selecting Withdraw Record from the Workflow State Change Menu (Workflow-State-Button) on the Action Bar.
