Excluding Specific Record Types
To exclude specific record types from displaying state license fields in account wizards and ensure users only capture license information for account types which require it, include the non-translated object type names for the excluded object types in a comma-delimited list in the new_account_types_disable_license_info Veeva Message.
If an object type is included in the new_account_types_disable_license_info Veeva Message, the License Information section heading, the license number, and the License Expiration Date fields do not display for that object type in the New Account Wizard or the Parent Account Wizard.

To capture state license information from an account wizard:
- Navigate to the appropriate account’s Account Detail screen.
- Select the New Account or + button.
- Select a Person Account object type.

Capturing State License Information in the Parent Account and New Object Type Wizards
When users create an account using the Parent Account Wizard or the New Object Type Wizard, the following address copying behavior also applies:
- For US addresses, the License field values are also saved to any other addresses selected from the address list which meet the following requirements:
- The value in the license_valid_to_sample__v field on the address__v object is populated with Valid
- The value in the state__v field for the address matches the state__v field on the new account’s Primary Address
- For Canadian addresses, the License field values are also saved to any other addresses selected from the address list that meet the following requirements:
- The license_valid_to_sample__v field on the address__v object is populated with Valid
- The value in the country__v field on the address__v object matches the country__v field on the Primary Address for the new account
- If an address with the same state or country as the designated Primary Address is not selected, the license fields will not automatically populate after saving the address to the new account. Users need to enter the address information manually.
