Cluster management
Customers can enrich addresses in additional countries by adding cluster codes. In this release, Network has included support for the following country/third party cluster provider combination:
-
Spain - IQVIA™
A TPA must be signed with the third party cluster provider to use the cluster management feature. For more information, see the topic called Managing clusters in the Veeva Network Online Help.

Localization
English translations will be used for the reference data in the Network UI.
Formatted name
The formula for the HCP formatted name is updated for some countries in Europe. Whenever records are loaded in your Network instance or DCRs are submitted, if there isn't a value for the formatted_name__v field, Network calculates the value using the available name fields. Internal rules are defined to identify the fields that are used to calculate the formatted name for a specific country. For example, most countries use the first name and last name but some countries also include a middle name, prefix (Hr.), or medical degree for an HCP.
These changes are enabled in your Network instance by default.
Updates to formatted names
The updates to the formatted name include the following enhancements:
-
Language-appropriate translations for prefixes and medical degree
-
Middle Name is used in countries where this field is captured
-
The Academic Title is replaced with the Medical Degree in countries where the Academic Title was migrated to the Medical Degree in the Veeva OpenData 20R2.0 release.
Formatted name formula for countries
A change to any of the fields in the formula will automatically update the formatted_name__v field.
