Data model
Common Data Architecture (CDA)
The Veeva ID CDA field (veevaid__v) is now enabled by default in all Network instances. This field is the global identifier from Veeva data products and is used in the CDA data model.
This system field is enabled, even if the CDA data model is not enabled, so all customers and downstream systems have access to this Veeva-wide ID.
Supported countries
The Veeva ID is enabled for OpenData countries where CDA is supported. CDA is not supported for China, Hong Kong, Japan, and Macao.
For more information, see Common Data Architecture (CDA).
