## Vault CRM Standard Metrics

Vault CRM has standard metrics for call channel, user type, and user country data. Standardizing a set list of picklist values enables better insights through benchmarks built on consistent data across companies. It also allows customers to do the following:

* Normalize data for comparison across therapeutic areas and orgs within their company for faster insights
* Enable downstream innovation and Vault CRM functionality, such as integrated HCP scheduling, channel preferences, and country-specific logic through a consistent set of values
* Gather metrics and set benchmarks

Standard values are set for the following fields:

* call\_channel\_\_v on the call2\_\_v object
* country\_code\_\_v on the user\_\_sys object
* user\_type\_\_v on the user\_\_sys object

These standard values enable the following metrics:

* Call Channel Metrics - Track and analyze the communication channels used for calls
* User Country Metrics - Measure data based on user country codes for region-specific insights
* User Type Metrics - Classify users by type to understand usage patterns and roles

**Who can use this feature?**

* Browser, iPad users
* Users do not require an additional license
* Business Admin users, End users, Integration users
