Sync

Updates to Non-Blocking Sync

Non-blocking sync now automatically runs the first time users sign into Veeva CRM or open the app while still signed in on a given day. This ensures any data and metadata changes from the previous day are automatically downloaded. Previously, non-blocking sync ran automatically only if at least 24 hours had passed since the previous automatic non-blocking sync.

Sync

Non-Blocking Sync

Non-blocking sync is a regular, automatic sync that allows users to continue using Veeva CRM while syncs are occurring. This is a significant improvement over the current incremental sync process, which requires users to select the sync button and blocks the user from using the app until the sync is complete.

Non-blocking sync works by downloading data (CRM records) and metadata (permissions, settings, object changes), including Approved Email content, while the user continues to use Veeva CRM. When the sync is complete, the user is notified to apply the updates. Applying updates is a quick process that typically takes only a few seconds.

See this video about non-blocking sync.

Using the HCP Content Player

The HCP Content Player is a dedicated browser experience enabling accounts to view content sent to them from various features of Veeva CRM. Interactions with content viewed via the HCP Content Player are tracked and saved in Veeva CRM, enabling admins to report and audit on activity of sent content. The HCP Content Player is hosted by Veeva and cannot be embedded in customer-owned pages.

Creating Unavailable Time Slots from Calls

To prevent HCPs from sending meeting requests for times when users are not available, users can mark calls as unavailable for scheduling. For example, if a call is already confirmed with an HCP, or the call is particularly urgent, mark the call as unavailable to ensure other HCPs do not request a meeting at the same time.

Attendance Reporting for Microsoft Teams Meetings

To report on attendee data, administrators can track meeting attendance and meeting length for Microsoft Teams meetings started from Veeva CRM. See this video about attendance reporting for Microsoft Teams meetings.

Users can use social messaging apps to share links for CLM content published in Vault, including auto-published content, binders and slides, and custom presentations. Content accessed from a web link displays in the HCP Content Player. Any action the recipient takes on the link is tracked, allowing admins to analyze engagement with specific presentations to improve CLM content.

Accessing ISI and PI Documents for CLM Content in the HCP Content Player

When users send web links for CLM content, links to the associated Important Safety Information (ISI) and Prescribing Information (PI) documents are included in the HCP Content Player, allowing HCPs to access both the CLM content and the ISI and PI documents from the same web link. This ensures users satisfy compliance regulations requiring ISI and PI documents to be available to HCPs whenever they view promotional content.

Engage HCP

Adding Address Book Contacts

HCPs can allow Engage to access their device’s address book contacts to quickly invite and share valuable resources with other HCPs. Contacts in the address book must have at least one email address. HCPs can then forward chat messages or share brand profile resources using their address book contacts.

Sending Brand Profile Resources

HCPs can send brand profile resources to new and existing connections via chat, allowing them to quickly and easily share useful information with their connections, including HCPs and CRM users.

Events Management

Using Attendee Self-Registration with Events

Event organizers can send a unique event registration link to potential attendees to better prepare for an event and capture attendee interest. Attendees can select this link to view important event details and self-register to the event by filling out required information. See this video about using Attendee Self-Registration.

Sending Local Events Management Content via Approved Email

Salesforce Files associated with event materials can be included in Approved Email sent for that event. This enables users to send local documents in Veeva CRM to non-CRM users, for example, event attendees and speakers.

Using Event Speaker Business Rules with Product Speaker Caps

Business admins can configure Speaker Rules to ensure speakers do not exceed their product-specific caps. These rules provide compliance and controlled spending, since event organizers can be warned or prevented from adding a speaker when they are approaching a defined threshold of a product-specific cap.

Adding QR Codes to Event Print Templates

Content creators can use a dedicated Print Template token to display an event’s QR sign-in code in materials created for an event. This enables event organizers to print and distribute their event’s QR code. Printed QR codes make it easier for attendees to sign in by scanning the code on their devices, providing more options for signing into an event.

Using Event Sign-in URLs

Event owners can copy and distribute their QR-enabled event’s sign-in URL. This enables event owners to easily share the URL with attendees of their event, since attendees can receive the copied URL via the chat of a virtual event or any other communication channel, and use the URL to sign into the event directly from their device.

Viewing Expense Headers and Expense Lines in Lightning for Events Management

Event organizers using Lightning for Events Management can quickly view expense headers and their associated expense lines, streamlining the expense allocation process.

Creating and Editing Expense Headers and Expense Lines

Event organizers can create both split and non-split expense headers while creating the expense header’s associated expense lines simultaneously, streamlining expense entry.

Searching for Child Account Attendees Outside a User’s Territory

Event organizers can search for child accounts outside of their territory to add as attendees to their event. This enables greater event organization capabilities in orgs using both Child Account Attendees and Outside Territory Searching.

Medical

Using the Medical Identifier Field

The Account_Identifier_vod field on the Account object stores and displays any account identifier needed by users, for example sales teams. Medical users, however, often require different information displayed in this field to help them identify an account or provide additional context for an account. Admins can configure the Medical_Identifier_vod field on the Account object to store and display additional information about an account for medical users.

Medical Events

Child Accounts in Medical Events on the iPad

iPad users can add child accounts to Medical Events, enabling event organizers to more accurately record HCP behavior.

MyInsights

Viewing Multiple MyInsights Tabs in Lightning

Admins can easily deploy related MyInsights pages as tabs for Browser (Lightning) end users using the myInsightsV2 Lightning Web Component (LWC).

Updates to MyInsights Studio Navigation Actions (Available December 7, 2023)

A new View Section navigation action allows content creators to specify one or more tabs within the same group of entry points users can navigate to. When the page is deployed, users can select a different tab with new information displayed from the same account or territory. The View Record navigation action is updated so that content creators can optionally add a specific MyInsights tab to navigate to instead of a Record ID. This allows users to navigate from a MyInsights page to an Account page other than the default Account page.

MyInsights Studio Territory Feedback Entry Point (Available December 7, 2023)

The Territory Feedback entry point in MyInsights Studio allows content developers to import and deploy custom Territory Feedback content that was created using MyInsights. Business admins can use Territory Feedback data from both CRM and Align to display the proposed next cycle of calculated KPIs for an end user’s territory when performing territory alignment in Align. End users can provide feedback on the proposed updates. See Managing Custom Pages in MyInsights Studio for more information.

Order Management

Using Delivery Period Rules for Product Groups and Brands

Delivery Period rules help users find available delivery dates when capturing orders. Delivery Period rules for detail products (brands) and product groups help users avoid creating multiple orders, or creating large orders with deliveries scheduled for each product. Sales admins can now create Delivery Period rules for detail products (brands) and product groups, in addition to order products or the total order. See this video about delivery period rules.

SAP Concur Integration

Enabling SAP Concur API Version 3

New SAP Concur APIs enable admins in Veeva CRM to configure additional mappings between the two systems, as well as configure the integration to support submitting multiple call expenses.

Submitting Multiple Call Expenses to SAP Concur

End users may incur multiple expenses as part of meetings with HCPs, for example, meals and beverages purchased for a lunch and learn. Admins can configure the Veeva CRM integration with SAP Concur to enable end users to report multiple expenses within calls, avoiding manual entry in both systems.

Territory Management

Tracking Manual Territory Alignment History

The Manual Territory Alignment History object in Veeva CRM tracks when end users manually add an account to their territory in order to document interactions. Records of this object provide an auditable history of when an account was manually assigned to a territory that can be used by business admins and other management groups for both reporting and for use in territory alignment rules.

Call Cycles in Lightning for My Schedule

To streamline call planning and scheduling, Browser (Lightning) users can save sets of recurring calls as a call cycle, then apply the call cycle to create all their upcoming calls for the week at once.

Call Reporting

Limiting Past Call Submission on CRM Desktop (Windows)

To prevent users on the CRM Desktop (Windows) platform from submitting calls that occurred too far in the past, admins can restrict call submission for the previous month’s calls past a certain number of days into the current month. The limit on past call submission can be customized for each month of the year.

Call Sampling

Displaying the State Distributor License Indicator for CRM Desktop (Windows)

The State Distributor License indicator is available on the CRM Desktop (Windows) platform. For efficiency in call reporting, the State Distributor license indicator enables users to quickly and easily see whether an account’s State Distributor license is valid.

Engage

Enabling Engage Chat in CRM on Android

Android users can now chat with HCPs directly from Veeva CRM in the Engage tab. Engage chat is a convenient, secure, and compliant communication channel for users to interact and share information with HCPs outside of calls.

Customizing Engage Rating Feedback with Qualtrics or Medallia

In addition to the 5-star rating feedback that an HCP can fill out, admins can configure a custom Qualtrics or Medallia survey to collect feedback from HCPs after an Engage Meeting. This allows organizations to tailor survey questions to current business needs and take advantage of the rating system’s high response rate. The combination of the ratings and survey results provide a better and more direct understanding of how content and customer experience is perceived by HCPs.

Filtering Approved Content and Samples to Share in Engage Chat (Available October 5, 2023)

Admins can define content filters for Engage Connect groups to restrict the approved content CRM users can share via Engage chat in the Engage tab in Veeva CRM or in Engage Connect, and the samples and materials HCPs can request from those users in Engage. Content filters work in conjunction with a user's country, user type, and assigned brands to determine which content is available to share. For example, there may be multiple indications for a product, but users in a particular Engage Connect group only have permission to share approved content for a specific indication via Engage chat. See this video about filtering approved content and samples to share in Engage chat.

Engage HCP

Managing Email Notifications for Unread Chat Messages

HCPs can enable email notifications about unread chat messages to prevent them from missing new messages from CRM users or other HCPs. This is especially useful for HCPs using Engage Web or who have push notifications disabled, who can easily miss new messages in Engage and not respond.

Integrated Scheduling: Viewing Meeting Request Status in Engage

To plan for upcoming meetings, HCPs can track their meeting request status in the Engage app and view additional scheduling details, for example, the meeting type. Status for each meeting request is listed in the Meetings tab. When CRM users accept or decline a meeting request, the notifications in the Engage app are updated and HCPs receive push notifications with the meeting request status.

Events Management

Creating New Accounts from Walk-in Attendees

Walk-in attendees often need to be reconciled to an account in CRM before the event can be closed. If an existing account is not found during reconciliation, users can create a new Account record directly within Events Management to reconcile the walk-in attendee. Information from the walk-in attendee is used to automatically populate fields in the new Account record to streamline the creation process.

Attaching Files to Event Materials and Expense Headers in Lightning for Events Management

End users using Lightning for Events Management can add files to event materials and expense headers while directly creating or editing the record, instead of needing to save the record first. This streamlines the creating and editing process for these types of records.

Updates to Virtual Event Attendance Tracking

Attendance tracking in virtual events was updated to provide greater detail about the virtual event, for example, if the event had a practice session containing only internal users, as well as the virtual engagement minutes. These updates also provide more information about each attendee, for example, their IP address. This information becomes available in CRM as it becomes available from Zoom, making it easier for users to quickly review event attendance information about a recent virtual event.These updates are enabled by default and only apply to virtual events scheduled after the 23R2.2 release.

MyInsights Studio

Using the Medical HCP Page Template (Available October 5, 2023)

Requiring Medical Discussions for CRM Desktop (Windows)

To ensure call reports are complete, users on the CRM Desktop (Windows) platform can be required to capture at least one Medical Discussion to submit a call report. Requiring Medical Discussions reduces potential compliance risks resulting from incomplete or inaccurate call reports. It also helps provide a more complete picture of past HCP interactions for other CRM users to use in call planning and future discussions with HCPs.

Engage

Optional Calendar Event Fields for Microsoft Outlook Integration

To control which information on a Microsoft Outlook entry is pulled in to Veeva CRM, admins can remove users’ FLS permissions for fields which are not required for the integration. If Edit FLS for a field is not provided, the field’s data is not pulled in to Veeva CRM.

Importing Regulatory Statements with HTML Formatting

The Regulatory Statement HTML column was added to the company configuration file to allow basic text formatting for the regulatory information displayed to HCPs. This Regulatory Statement HTML column is optional, however, when it is populated, the regulatory statement also displays for users who have not upgraded to the latest versions of Engage and Engage Connect

Order Management

Delivery Discount Pricing Rule

Delivery Discount pricing rules allow users to offer different order discounts based on the delivery date for each child delivery. Users can offer a discount if the desired quantity is ordered for each delivery for the order, not for the total parent order. This encourages pharmacists to buy more quantities of a given product within a preferred time period to stock up in advance of expected demand or to help streamline their supply chain.

Syncing Slide Notes for Multichannel Slide Documents in Vault

Slides notes are now supported on the Multichannel Slide document in Vault and sync over to CRM.

Locking CLM Content Size

Admins can lock CLM content to 1024 pixels by 768 pixels to prevent content that was originally developed for iPad using a fixed size from being distorted when displayed on larger screens. This allows content to display at the same size regardless of the size of the screen. Locking the size of the content allows customers to reuse existing content that has been developed for legacy iPad screens because the content does not stretch to fill larger screens.

In order for an account, an HCP, MSL, etc. to speak at an event, the account must be designated as being qualified to speak about the event’s topic. To streamline this process, users can nominate accounts to become new speakers, or can renominate existing speakers to be qualified to speak on additional topics.

MyInsights Studio

Adding Descriptions to MyInsights Content (Available June 2, 2022)

Users can include descriptions for MyInsights pages and data and display elements. When pages or elements have similar names, the description helps users easily identify the appropriate page or element.

Platforms

Hosting an Engage Meeting on the Veeva CRM Desktop App for Mac (Available June 10, 2022)

Online users on MacOS devices can host Engage meetings using the Veeva CRM Desktop app for Mac. The app enables desktop users to share applications on their desktop as well as CLM content from their media library.

Account Management

Custom Filters for Global Account Search

Browser (Lightning) users can apply custom filters to find accounts more easily when using Global Account Search. Admins can set up custom filters for any field on the Account or Address object.

Removing Accounts from Territories

Users can quickly remove accounts from their territory via a dedicated button on the Account detail page. This button prompts the user to create a DCR to remove the account from their territory, which can include a reason for removal. The DCR can then be routed via the Salesforce Approval Process for additional review and approval.

Engage Meeting

Importing Engage Connect Chat Logs into CRM

Admins can configure CRM to import chat messages from Engage Connect as new Call2_vod records or as records of a dedicated Chat_Message_vod object. These records contain chat message data and automatically associate with the appropriate account and user. The data can be utilized within CRM to help analyze productivity and monitor for compliance purposes.

MyInsights Studio

Using Templates with MyInsights Content (Available May 5, 2022)

Content creators can import and modify page templates to quickly deploy content to end users. If page templates do not exist, content creators can create them as starting points for custom content or convert existing content into page templates, allowing reuse of the page template.

The following MyInsights Studio page templates are available:

• Commercial HCP Page Template
• Commercial HCO Page Template
• Commercial Territory Page Template
• Medical HCP Page Template
• Medical Territory Page Template
• Using the MCCP Page Template

Account Management

Global Account Search

Global Account Search is a tool to search for and add accounts currently outside a user’s territory, making it easier to interact with these accounts. Global Account Search also helps reduce the creation of unnecessary accounts, as users can first check if an account already exists outside of their territory before creating a new account.

Redirecting the New Account Button to Global Account Search

Admins can configure Global Account Search to override the New Account button in My Accounts, forcing the user to search for an account outside of their territory before they can create a new account. This reduces the chance that users accidentally create duplicate accounts.

Account Plan

Displaying and Adding Out of Territory Accounts in Stakeholder Navigator

Related out-of-territory accounts display along with users’ accounts in the stakeholder navigator. This enables users to more accurately manage their accounts, and plan account interactions by providing a full view of their accounts’ professional networks.

Approved Notes

Using Product-Specific Monitoring Rules

To reduce false-positive violations, compliance users can designate monitoring rules to only run against a defined combination of products, detail groups, and detail topics based on My Setup assignments. This also enables greater control over which rules run for a user's calls, as some monitored phrases may be appropriate for some users and not others.

Product-Specific Monitoring Rules link monitoring rules to any user assigned that product via My Setup. When a rule is linked to the user, the rule runs on all of the user's calls, not only the calls discussing the associated product.

Authentication

Signing In with MFA and Custom Domain

Customers can enforce multi-factor authentication and enable a wide range of single sign-on (SSO) solutions without using MDM, including OAuth 2.0 and SAML. iPad and iPhone users can also sign in to Veeva CRM using a custom domain. This ensures a familiar and consistent signin experience for users across platforms.

Call Reporting

Restricting Call Channels

Admins can now restrict call channel options for Browser (Classic) users. To ensure users are only presented with compliant call channel options, admins can deactivate the Email, Chat or Text, and Other call channels so they are not available for selection on the call report.

Additional configuration is required to restrict call channels for Browser (Classic) users. See Restricting Call Channels for more information.

Call Sampling

Removing ASSMCA License Validation

Due to changes in Puerto Rico’s controlled substance sampling requirements, ASSMCA license numbers do not need to be populated for controlled substance sampling in Veeva CRM. ASSMCA and Ship-to ASSMCA fields no longer display on signature pages, and the fields are no longer validated. Additionally, admins can deactivate the validation rule for ASSMCA validation on Address records, simplifying account creation and address record maintenance.

CLM

Displaying Website Content in the Media Library

Veeva CRM supports displaying website content in the media library. Content creators can create websites with approved content which users can share with HCPs during calls and Engage meetings, while ensuring the content is compliant.

Concur Sync

Authentication Support for SAP Concur

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.

Engage

Sending Meeting Requests with Approved Email (Available April 14, 2022)

To enable recipients to provide availability and channel preferences, users can send Approved Emails containing a link to the Engage Scheduling Site. This site is a dedicated website that recipients can use to request a meeting with CRM users based on their preferred time and call channel. This also allows users to avoid scheduling and rescheduling meetings without first knowing the recipients’ preferences.

Sending Web Links for Website Content

To allow users to share approved website content to HCPs through non-email channels, users can share website links to HCPs using social messaging apps. Admins can add tracking tokens to website links to track visitor engagement with specific websites and identify where and when the link was sent. Sharing web links allows users to increase communication with HCPs and increase HCP engagement with website content.

Engage Meeting

Engage Meeting License Management

The Engage group management process enables admins to control user assignment to Engage Groups via the User object, enabling assignment to be controlled via data-loading and user management integrations.

Adding Dial-in Numbers to Engage Meeting Invitations

To make it easier for attendees to join the audio of an Engage meeting via dial-in, Engage hosts can add dial-in numbers to invitations sent to attendees. This can be their preferred or required method of joining the meeting’s audio.

Standard Metrics

Requiring the Standard Metrics Call Channel

To provide customers with improved data and insights, better benchmarking ability, and access to downstream innovations, users must enter a standard call channel on every call report beginning in 22R1 (April ‘22). Admins can choose one of two existing methods for populating the call channel: manual selection or auto-populating the call channel based on other fields. Manual selection is enabled by default. For more information, see Standard Metrics Call Channel.

Call channel is required on every call report. Admins must ensure all users have Edit FLS to the Call_Channel_vod field on the Call2_vod object and ensure the field is not marked as read-only on page layouts. For Browser (Classic) users manually selecting a channel, the Call_Channel_vod field must be on all Call2_vod object page layouts.

Requiring the Standard Metrics User Type and Country

To provide customers with improved data and insights, better benchmarking ability, and access to downstream innovations, users are prompted for User Type and Country information if those values were not data loaded or specified by the org’s admin beginning in 22R1 (April ‘22).

Surveys

Linking Survey Targets to Calls
