20R3 Data Model Changes: Quality

With every release, we update the data model to better support evolving needs and new feature functionality. With this release, we’ve added the following components to the Quality data model. These data model updates are automatically included in all Quality Vaults, but Admins must make configuration changes to make them available. For information on feature functionality, see What’s New in 20R3.

QMS: Organization Object Standard Field Updates

The Organization object of Quality Suite Vaults has been updated with standard address fields. These fields are being added to support future feature enhancements to Organization management. Many Quality implementations already have custom address fields within the object and, after this release, Admins may see the new standard fields next to their custom fields on the Admin pages. The new standard fields are not mandatory to use today, unless you are intending to use Vault Product Surveillance, a new Quality application available for Medtech / Medical Device and Diagnostics customers.
