# Splitting Regulatory Objectives (RIM Registrations) When changes are bundled, Health Authorities will sometimes reject specific changes or your organization will decide not to pursue some activities. The splitting wizard helps users to split the unapproved changes from the approved changes, helping to ensure global traceability of approval status.

Note: This feature is only available on RIM Registrations Vaults and must be configured before use. For details, see Configuring Bundling & Splitting .

## How to Split Regulatory Objectives To split bundled regulatory objectives: 1. Navigate to **Applications > Regulatory Objectives** and locate the regulatory objective you wish to split. 2. From the **Actions** menu on that objective, select **Split Regulatory Objectives**. Note that this may be labeled differently depending on your Vault's configuration. If the action does not appear for specific activities, the activity is not in an allowed lifecycle state or your access is restricted by Action Level Security. 3. On the **Define Regulatory Objective** page, enter a **Name** for the new regulatory objective and select an existing **Application**. Then, select the applications to relate to the new _Regulatory Objective_ record. Click **Next**. 4. On the **Select Relationships** page, choose the relationship type that you want to split from the existing submission. Click **Next**. 5. On the **Define Relationships** page, choose the specific relationships that you want to split from the existing submission. Click **Next**. 6. On the **Select Registrations** page, choose the registrations that are affected by splitting the regulatory objective. If you want to remove the relationships between the source _Regulatory Objective_ record and the registrations you chose, select the checkbox above the grid. Click **Next**. 7. On the **Define Submissions** page, set the **Create new Submission record** checkbox to create a new record, and enter details for your new submission: **Type of Submission**, **Submission Name**, and **Submission Type**. **Application Number** is automatically selected based on the selection for the new regulatory objective. If you don't want to create a submission, click **Next**. 8. On the **Select Activities** page, you will see a filtered list of activities that are related to the initial regulatory objective. Select the activities that you want to associate with the new regulatory objective. When you complete the wizard, Vault will update the _Related Submission_ and _Regulatory Objective_ fields on the _Activity_ records you select. 9. Optional: Select the **Create a new activity record for every activity selected above to track the split data** checkbox at the top of the page. This allows Vault to create copies of the selected activities and associate them to the new regulatory objective rather than updating the existing _Activity_ records. 10. Click **Next** to proceed. 11. On the **Summary** page, review the changes that your split action will make. If your selections are correct, click **Finish**. If changes are needed, click **Back** or use the steps listed in the left panel to click through past steps. 12. When the split process is complete, Vault sends you a notification. From the **Notifications** page or your email, you can download the CSV results file to review and confirm that the correct actions occurred. After you run the splitting wizard, you can't restart the wizard from the same _Regulatory Objective_ record until processing is complete. This prevents Vault from inadvertently creating duplicate records.

Note: If your organization tracks labeling Activities for cross-functional Events using dependencies , Vault sets the field on target Activity records with the same Local Labeling Impact value as the source Activity record, and does not display the field in the wizard. To capture a value for the Local Labeling Impact, allow Vault to create the target Activity record, then edit and re-save the new record with the desired Local Labeling Impact.

## Working in the Splitting Grids The splitting wizard includes grid panes that allow you to easily find and select the records you need. Within the grid panes on these pages, you can: * Drag to adjust column width and row height. * Select **Edit Columns** from the **Actions** menu to update the columns in the grid. * Apply or remove filters. * Use the search bar to locate specific records. * Use the checkboxes to select or deselect individual records. * On pages that allow you to select multiple records, use **Select All** to select all available records. Note that when you search or apply filters after you select records in the grid, the records remain selected even if they don't match the search or filter results. The total count of currently-selected records appears above the grid. ## Audit Trail When you split bundled regulatory objectives, Vault includes each change made in the impacted object record's audit trail. ## Related Permissions To use the spitting wizard, you'll need: | Type | Permission Label | Controls | | --- | --- | --- | | Security Profile | Object: Activity: Edit | Ability to access _Activity_ record actions in order to initiate a bundle action; ability to modify an _Activity_ record during a split action | | Security Profile | Object: Regulatory Objective, Submission: Create, Edit | Ability to create new records and edit records through the wizard actions; needed for _Regulatory Objective_ and _Submission_ objects | | Security Profile | Object: Base Regulatory Objective, Base Submission, Base Related Submission: Read | Ability to access the splitting wizard; needed for _Base Regulatory Objective_, _Base Submission_, and _Base Related Submission_ objects |

Note: If your organization has set up Action Level Security for the Split Regulatory Objectives action on the Regulatory Objectives object, you must have the required access for this action.
