Announcements
Authentication Change for SAP Concur Integration
SAP Concur will change how authentication works for integrations with partner software, including Veeva CRM. Any customers with CRM environments connected to SAP Concur need to reconnect and authenticate from within Concur’s App Center. This change will be available in the 22R1 (April '22) release. If connections are not updated by June 30th, 2022 customers may see errors in their integration. See SAP Concur Overview for more information.
Beginning in 22R1 (April ‘22), ASSMCA licenses will no longer be validated in Veeva CRM. Since Puerto Rico no longer requires ASSMCA license validation for controlled substance sampling to HCPs, ASSMCA_vod and Ship_ASSMCA_vod fields will no longer be validated, stamped, or displayed on signature pages.
Features
Approved Notes
Using the Job History Table in Approved Notes
The Job History Table allows admin users to review the results of each job run in the last 90 days for Approved Notes. This makes it easy to quickly find and resolve any errors that may occur.
Call Reporting
Selecting a Call Channel for Windows Tablet
Windows Tablet users can now be required to select a standard metrics call channel on the call report. As users increasingly move to methods of HCP engagement beyond in-person calls, capturing call channel information on each call report is crucial for capturing accurate, comprehensive call information. If the REQUIRE_CALL_CHANNEL_vod Veeva Setting is enabled for iOS users, selecting a call channel is required for Windows Tablet users as well.
Restricting Call Channels for Windows Tablet
Admins can now restrict call channel options for Windows Tablet users. To ensure users are only presented with compliant call channel options, admins can choose to disable the Email, Chat or Text, and/or Other call channels so they are not available for selection on the call report. If call channels are restricted for iOS users, the same channels are restricted for Windows Tablet users as well.
Auto-Populating the Call Channel for Windows Tablet
Auto-populating the call channel is now supported for Windows Tablet users. When auto-populating the call channel is configured, the value in the Veeva standard metrics Call_Channel_vod field is auto-populated for Windows Tablet users based on customers’ own call channel fields.
Events Management
Limiting Meals per Topic for Event Attendance Rules
The following Event Attendance Business Rules can now enforce repeat attendance of an event topic with meals using the Per_Event_Topic_vod check box:
- EM_Meal_Opt_In_Attendance_Limit_Rule_vod
- EM_Cross_Event_Meal_Opt_In_Attendance_Limit_Rule_vod
Note: While this functionality is automatically enabled in orgs that previously configured Event Attendance Rules, the Per_Event_Topic_vod check box must be added to the appropriate page layouts to display.
See Creating Attendance Rules for more information.
Search Event Attendees and Speakers by Furigana
Searching Japanese names by furigana is supported when searching for event attendees and event speakers. Lists of speakers and attendees are sorted by furigana so users can quickly find the Japanese names in the search results.
Territory Feedback in Align
Total Goals Metrics in Territory Feedback
Users can view their total product and channel goals for their upcoming cycle from the Territory Dashboard in Territory Feedback. These metrics enable users to submit more useful feedback on their upcoming cycle by informing them of their expected total interactions.
