Key networks on downloaded records

When you download a record from OpenData, the key network/IDN affiliation tags are now immediately displayed on the record in your Network instance.

Previously, the key network information displayed in the search results but it did not display on the downloaded record until the key networks were refreshed by the daily data maintenance job.

Note: This is also supported for records downloaded in Vault CRM.

Supported download actions

The key network is included when records are downloaded from Veeva OpenData using ad hoc download jobs:

• Ad Hoc Download (available on the Veeva OpenData subscription page)

• Download from OpenData (using the Download icon on the search results or profile page)

• Sync with OpenData (available on the search results).
