To allow for personalization of profiles, users can edit their Display Name in the Me tab of both Engage and Engage Connect.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 send approved website content to HCPs through non-email channels, users can send 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. Sending web links allows users to increase communication with HCPs and increase HCP engagement with website content.

Engage Meeting

Engage Meeting License Management

The Engage license 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

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

To help customers with reporting on survey quotas, Survey Targets created from a call are now stamped with the Call Id.
