Working with record profiles

Profiles display information for a particular record (HCP Health care provider, including (but not limited to) individuals who are authorized by their governing body to practice medicine and prescribe drugs within the scope of their defined practice., HCO Health care organization. An organization that provides health care services in a systematic way to individuals, families, or communities. or custom object). Depending on your role, you can view, edit, and delete information in the records, as well as view high-level record information, revision history, data lineage A detailed view of the current record, including all sources that contributed to it and survivorship results at the field level., and compliance data.

Summary section

The summary section identifies the record by object type (icon), name, address, primary country, and other information specific to the object type; for example, HCP records contain primary specialty, HCP type, and other details. Hashtags are applied to identify specific information on the record.

The address that displays is the primary address on the record. If a primary address is not defined, the address with an ordinal of 1 displays. If none of the addresses on the record meet either of these criteria, another address on the record is selected to display.

Buttons and links in the summary header enable you to action and customize visibility of the records. Available actions vary based on user role and record type.

The System and Data Admin user role combines the full capabilities of Data Stewards and Administrators.

^{1 Only the number of tasks appears; actual task content does not appear.}
^{2 Available for active profiles that have not been sent to Veeva OpenData. Unavailable if the record contains proprietary data or has pending local tasks. This feature must be enabled by Veeva.}
^{3 View external data related to HCPs, HCOs, and custom objects from Salesforce orgs. Available through user group permissions. The button might have a different name. See Data components.}
^{4 The user's data visibility profile must give them permission to download records.}
^{5 Candidate records must be enabled for the instance and within the user's data visibility profile. Candidates that have been sent to Veeva OpenData cannot be promoted or deleted.}

These options enable you to limit the information you see in the profile (for example, to reduce distraction) or to view additional details:

Field revisions - displays a list of all of the active and inactive objects, sub-objects or relationship objects on the record. Select an object to display a pop-up to investigate its field revisions from contributing sources. If there is no revision data, the object is dimmed in the list.
To quickly view revisions for specific fields, see the Field version history option.
Profile Notes - Notes display by default, but users can choose to hide the pane. Users that have access to the record can create notes so other users can see the information.
Field help - The pane displays when users click the Info icon beside a field. Only users who have been given access to field help through permission sets, can view the pane.
Field version history - The Version History pane displays when users click the Info icon beside a field. The tab identifies the change and the job or data change request that made the change.
Associated tasks - provides a count of all pending tasks for the root entity. Hover over the link to see the breakdown of pending DCRs and suspect match tasks. Click the link to view the tasks in more detail.
Show field ownership - show or hide the field colors that indicate ownership. Fields that appear orange are Veeva-owned, gray (or green for China) fields are local customer-owned, and blue are third-party fields. These colors can help you more easily determine where change requests will be routed. This option toggles the colors on or off, depending on preference.
Show empty fields - toggle empty fields on or off. Showing empty fields can help you quickly see what data the record is missing.
Expand or collapse page sections - toggle between showing or hiding all sections on the page. Sections can still be collapsed or expanded individually.
Multi-country HCP - displays if an HCP has records in more than one European country. Veeva OpenData can link the records so you can easily identify that the records are for the same HCP. A small number of HCPs have records in more than one country. For more information, see Multi-country HCPs.
View/Edit Profile Layout - Click to open the profile layout that is being used for the record you are currently viewing. You can view standard layouts or edit custom layouts.

Note: These options and their placement within the summary are dependent on factors such as user role, data visibility profile, record ownership, and more. Use the tables on this page to assist you in determining when these options will appear.

Validating data

If profile validation rules are enabled for your Network instance, they run when Data Steward, Data Manager, or System and Data Admin users Apply their changes to HCP and HCO records. If errors occur, a Validation pane displays below the summary section to explain the data issues.

The Validate button runs profile validation rules so you can check existing data before making changes to an HCP or HCO. The button does not display for Under_Review records or records with the following status: Deleted, Merged_Into, or Invalid.

The Validate button displays even if profile validation rules are not enabled in the Network instance. It does not display if changes have been made to the record profile; validation rules will run when Apply is clicked.

Download records from Veeva OpenData

The Download from OpenData button appears if the HCP or HCO record is available for download from Veeva OpenData and the user's data visibility profile gives them permission to download. If users do not have permission through their data visibility profile, the message Need download permission displays.

When users access a record owned by Veeva OpenData that hasn't been downloaded to their Network instance, only populated fields display.

Send records to Veeva OpenData

Customer Data Steward, Data Manager, and System and Data Admin users can send locally managed active HCP or HCO records to Veeva OpenData as add requests so OpenData takes ownership of the record. This feature reduces stewardship costs for customers and improves data quality.

This action is not available if the record is inactive, contains proprietary data, has pending local tasks, or has already been sent to Veeva OpenData.

For more information about this feature, see Send add requests to Veeva OpenData.

Manage candidate records

Data Steward, Data Manager, and System and Data Admin users can promote or delete candidate records for HCPs and HCOs from the Profile page. Candidate records are not supported for custom objects.

If candidate records are enabled in your Network instance, a Candidate label displays beside the record ownership label in the Summary section for any candidate records. If a data steward or data manager has the Candidate Visibility permission set to True in their data visibility profile, a Resolve button displays at the top of the record. Click Resolve to promote the record to a valid record, or delete the record.

If changes have been made to the record, the Resolve button does not display. When the user clicks Apply to save their changes, a dialog displays with the following options:

Apply Changes
Apply Changes and Promote Record

Candidate records that have been sent to Veeva OpenData as add requests cannot be actioned in the new profile. The Resolve button is hidden, so data stewards are unable to promote the record to an active record or delete the candidate record.

Preview boxes
