• Document Management & Integrity: Veeva Vault supports cross-linking documents across vaults, allows for the restoration of deleted documents within 30 days (though not recommended for approved documents), and offers multiple methods for metadata extraction including Vault Loader, FTP, and API.
• Advanced Access Control & Security: Dynamic Access Control (DAC) provides object record-level security through automatic assignment of user roles (viewer, editor, owner) via sharing rules, while Application Roles logically group Enterprise Roles to define specific permissions and privileges.
• Workflow Automation & Configuration: The platform leverages entry criteria, entry actions, and user actions to automate document life cycle states and processes. Recent enhancements in 23R3 include automated collaborative authoring sessions integrated with life cycle and workflow actions.
• Business Intelligence & Reporting: Veeva allows for the scheduling and distribution of "Flash Reports" daily, weekly, or monthly via email, providing instant access to cached results for users with appropriate permissions (object report edit access, dashboard, and report schedule report permission).
