Features

Using Engage and CRM Desktop features in a Sandbox org requires additional configuration. When a Sandbox org is created or refreshed, create a support ticket to request the configuration update. Follow the instructions here.

The 24R1.0 release includes features from the following minor releases:

• What's New In 23R3.5
• What's New In 23R3.4

Accounts

Formatting HCP Display Names

In some instances, it is important for HCP names to include credentials or salutations, for example, Doctor or MD. By default, only the first and last name on an account record display for HCPs. To ensure HCP names display appropriately, admins can define the format of the display names for accounts.

Approved Email

Email Builder

Email Builder is a new way to compose emails that provides end users a guided experience when creating Approved Emails. Email Builder grids are associated with templates allowing users to select from approved blocks of text for the subject, greetings, paragraphs, and documents sections of the email.

One-Click Unsubscribe

To help organizations comply with industry guidelines for bulk email senders, One-Click Unsubscribe is enabled by default for Approved Email. Email recipients can unsubscribe from future emails with the same content type or product with one click, without leaving their email application.

Preventing Approved Email Content from Displaying

To prevent certain email templates and email fragments from displaying to users as options to select when composing emails, content creators can mark the Approved Email content as hidden. Email Templates and Email Fragments marked as hidden still display when accessed directly, for example, when launched from CLM to send an email or share dynamic content, or when used for Recommended Emails.

Call Planning

Routing from My Schedule

To help users efficiently plan and navigate to scheduled activities, calls and events or medical events are plotted along a daily route in Map View. Expected travel times display on each segment of the route, so users can see how long it should take to arrive at their destinations. Users can send the plotted route to Apple Maps from Map View, or use Agenda View to send the day's eligible entries to Google Maps or Apple Maps.

Call Reporting

High Performance Call Report Database Status Notifications

High Performance Call Report users now see status messages when initially downloading or refreshing configuration and call data, including alert windows and messages displayed on the Settings page. Users can also see the date and time the database was last refreshed, if any errors occurred, and details regarding those errors in Settings. If a refresh fails, a message displays notifying users so they can retry refreshing the data in Settings by selecting the Refresh button.

Customers using a custom VMOC for the Message_vod object for CRM Desktop (Windows) and have SYNC_CONFIGURATION_MODE_VOD Veeva Setting set to 0 should update their CRM Desktop (Windows) VMOC to include all message categories. See Device and Software Requirements for Windows.

CLM

Creating Dynamic Content

Content creators can develop dynamic content to enable end users to generate personalized versions of content for HCPs and share them via Approved Email. This allows end users to follow up with HCPs about the personalized content discussed while presenting CLM content, for example, a cost calculator, formulary matrix, or personalized reprint.

Generating and Sending Dynamic Content

Customers can use dynamic content to enable end users to generate personalized versions of content for HCPs and share them via Approved Email. This allows end users to follow up with HCPs about the personalized content discussed while presenting CLM content, for example, a cost calculator, formulary matrix, or personalized reprint. See this video about generating and sending dynamic content.

Syncing Favorites Across Devices

When users mark presentations as favorites, the favorites are synced to CRM. This allows users to manage and use their favorites across multiple devices. All presentations marked as favorites before 24R1.0 are synced to CRM the first time users sync their devices after upgrading to the 24R1.0 version of Veeva CRM.

Syncing Labels Across Devices

When users add labels to presentations, the labels are synced to CRM. This allows users to manage and their labels across multiple devices. All labels created before 24R1.0 are synced to CRM the first time users sync their devices after upgrading to the 24R1.0 version of Veeva CRM.

Engage

Supporting PDF Content in Remote CLM

In addition to image, video, HTML, and goToSlide content, users can present PDF content via remote CLM, allowing users to share more CLM content with HCPs during calls without being in an Engage meeting, including face-to-face meetings and phone calls. HCPs can view the CLM content on their own devices without installing an app.

Events Management

Sending Automated Approved Emails for Events Management

Automated emails are emails automatically sent to an event's attendees and speakers, reducing manual processes for event organizers. Admins can improve event attendance and engagement by configuring automated emails using event rules to determine which emails to send, when emails are sent, and who should receive the emails.

Using the Refreshed Events Management UI (Sandbox Beta)

Admins can enable the refreshed Events Management interface on iPad to improve viewing event details and managing an event's related records. When this interface is enabled, event details are arranged alongside all of the event’s related lists into a single, unified layout that event organizers can use to quickly search for, add, and update attendees, budgets, materials, and speakers.
