Navigating Vault

There are a number of navigational differences between Vault CRM and Veeva CRM for commonly used configuration steps, for example, managing user permissions and updating custom settings. These differences are described below.

Managing Permission Sets

Permission sets control all the permissions for security profiles, including object and field permissions, and tab visibility.

To update object and field permissions in Vault CRM:

1. Navigate to the Users & Groups tab in the Admin tab.
2. Select Permission Sets from the side menu.
3. Select the appropriate custom permission set, for example, Business Administrator Permissions or Primary Care Sales Permissions.
4. Select Objects. This page may take a few seconds to display.
5. Select Edit to update the object permissions for all objects and their object types. Alternatively, select a specific object to view and edit all of the permissions for that object, including the following:
   • Object Permissions - Create, Read, Edit, and Delete (CRED) permission for each object type. If you grant Create or Delete permission, Read and Edit permissions are automatically granted.
   • Object Field Permissions - Read and Edit permission for each field on the object
   • Object Action Permissions - View and Execute actions available on records for the object
   • Object Control Permissions - Field app and section app controls available on page layouts for the object. These are generally converted zvod fields and section signals.
6. Select the appropriate permissions.
7. Select Save.

Do not grant end users Metadata API access in the Application tab of a permission set. Granting Metadata API access causes sync errors when using Vault CRM on iPad or iPhone.

Using App Controls and App Sections

Almost all zvod fields and certain section signals in Veeva CRM are now field app or section app controls.

• App control - A dynamic field added to a page layout. Only displays when the field is populated.
• App section - A section added to a page layout, usually to display records from a related object. Similar to Related Lists in Veeva CRM.

To follow Vault's naming conventions, the preceding zvod_ is removed from the field names and all letters are lowercase. Custom zvod fields must follow these naming conventions.

Some zvod fields, for example, zvod_consent_activity_tracking__v and zvod_consent_default_consent_text__v on the consent_type__v object, still contain zvod in their field names. These fields store customer data and must have the same names as in Veeva CRM in order to successfully migrate the data.

You can manage user visibility to these controls in the Object Control Permissions for the appropriate permission sets.

Using Section Attributes

Section signals in Veeva CRM are now section attributes for page layouts. When creating or editing a section on a page layout, the available section attributes display as check boxes labeled with the full name of the attribute. Select the check box for the appropriate attribute to include it in the page layout.

Some section signals, including asf, rem, nab, nap, are now section app controls.

Supporting Layout Profiles Offline

Layout profiles allow admins to define sets of users with access to specific object layouts. Since each object type on an object can only have one layout, layout profiles provide greater flexibility for customers to control layouts for the same object type for different groups of users according to business needs. See Configuring Layout Profiles for more information.

Managing Objects

Each object page includes the following:

• Object Types
• Fields
• Page Layouts
• Actions
• Validation Rules

To edit an object:

1. Navigate to the Configuration tab in the Admin tab.
2. Select Objects in the Object Setup section.
3. Select the appropriate object from the list of available objects.
4. Select the appropriate tab to view, create, or edit the component.
5. Select Save.

Actions, fields, and page layouts are all tied to object types. Each page layout is created for a specific object type. To add actions and fields to a page layout, the actions and fields must be enabled for the object type associated with that page layout.

In Vault CRM, when you add a field referencing a child object to a page layout for an object type, you must also add a field referencing the parent object. When creating or editing records for that object type, you must populate the field for the parent object before you can populate the field for the child object. See About Object Relationships for more information about parent-child relationships in Vault.

Managing Veeva Messages and VMOCs

Similar to Veeva CRM, Veeva Messages and VMOCs are object records in Vault CRM.

In order for incremental sync to function correctly, end users must have Read field permission to the modified_date__v field on each object with an active VMOC. This field permission is not automatically granted when granting Read object permission to the object.

To edit a Veeva Message:

1. Navigate to the Objects tab in the Business Admin tab.
2. Select the veeva_messages__v object. Use the search bar to quickly find the object.
3. Select the appropriate Veeva Message record. You can filter the list of records using the Filters in the side menu, or edit the columns and create custom views from the More Actions menu. Alternatively, select Create to create a custom Veeva Message.
4. Select Edit.
5. Edit the fields appropriately.
6. Ensure the Active check box is selected.
7. Select Save.

To edit a VMOC:

1. Navigate to the Objects tab in the Business Admin tab.
2. Select the vmobile_object_configuration__v object. Use the search bar to quickly find the object.
3. Select the appropriate VMOC record. You can filter the list of records using the Filters in the side menu. or edit the columns and create custom views from the More Actions menu. Alternatively, select Create to create a custom VMOC.
4. Select Edit.
5. Edit the fields appropriately.
6. Ensure the Active check box is selected.
7. Select Save.

Creating Tabs

To create a tab in Vault CRM:

1. Navigate to the Configuration tab in the Admin tab.
2. Select Tabs in the User Interface section.
3. Populate at least the Label and Tab Type fields.
   • The Name field is automatically populated based on the Label field
   • If you select Object for the Tab Type, the Object dropdown field displays. Select the appropriate object for the tab.
4. Set the Status to Active.
5. Select Save.

To grant tab visibility:

1. Navigate to the Users & Groups tab in the Admin tab.
2. Select Permissions Sets from the side menu.
3. Select the appropriate custom permission set, for example, Business Administrator Permissions or Primary Care Sales Permissions.
4. Select Tabs.
5. Select Edit.
6. Select the View check box beside the appropriate tab.
7. Select Save.

Managing Custom Settings

Custom settings are now objects in Vault CRM, including the following settings:

• Approved Email Settings (approved_email_settings__v)
• Concur Settings (concur_settings__v)
• Engage Link Settings (engage_link_settings__v)
• Events Management Settings (events_management_settings__v)
• Global Account Search Settings (global_account_search_settings__v)
• Mobile CRM Settings (mobile_crm_settings__v)
• Multichannel Settings (multichannel_settings__v)
• Network Settings (network_settings__v)
• Portal Settings (portal_settings__v)

• Territory Settings (territory_settings__v)
• VDS Settings (vds_settings__v)
• Veeva Settings (veeva_settings__v)
• WeChat Settings (wechat_settings__v)

You must create a record for each custom setting object to populate the values for each setting.

You do not need to create a record for the veeva_settings__v object. The Global Veeva Settings record is available in Vault CRM out-of-the-box.

To create a custom setting record:

1. Navigate to the Objects tab in the Business Admin tab.
2. Select the appropriate custom setting object, for example, Approved Email Settings of Multichannel Settings. Use the search bar to quickly find the correct object.
3. Select Create.
4. Enable the appropriate settings.
5. Select Save.
