# Updating Local Regulatory Information

By default, the <a href="/en/gr/31322/">Create Related Records</a> wizard allows users to bulk create local regulatory information (*Activities*, *Submissions*, *Regulatory Objectives*) across many markets from a given *Event* record. For situations where an *Event*'s scope later increases or decreases, the Update Local Regulatory Information wizard allows users to quickly push the new or updated details in bulk to these existing local records. This capability is useful when, for example:

* A new *Packaging* and its related details (such as *Shelf Life or Condition*) are added to an *Event* with existing *Submissions* and *Regulatory Objectives* for many markets.
* A *Change Item* requires a new *Labeling Concept*, and that *Change Item* is already related to a number of *Activities*.
* Event details are required for content planning in RIM Submissions.

## How Vault Updates Local Regulatory Information

When users bulk create local regulatory information with the <a href="/en/gr/31322/">Create Related Records</a> wizard, Vault references a related <a href="/en/gr/53688/#update-local-regulatory-information">Application Setting</a> to prepare the *Event* and its relationships for eventual use within the Update Local Regulatory Information wizard. Then, when an event's scope changes and users run the *Event*'s **Update Local Regulatory Information** action, Vault references these fields to automatically determine in-scope <a href="/en/gr/8913022/#event-and-relationship-object-inventory">_Event_ relationship records</a> to potentially copy to the local related *Activity*, *Submission*, and/or *Regulatory Objective*s.

To qualify for use within the wizard:

* The *Event* record must have at least one active related *Activity*, *Submission*, or *Regulatory Objective* and at least one valid _Event_ relationship record.
* The *Event*'s relationship records must have a *Last Sent to Impacted Markets* field value which is more recent than the *Event*'s *Local Regulatory Info Last Created* value.

Then, Update Local Regulatory Information wizard users [review and confirm][1] this pre-selected list of available *Event* relationship records Vault will copy once they click the wizard's **Finish** button:

* When a record is pre-selected and the user de-selects it, Vault does not copy that record.
* When a record is not selected and the user selects it, Vault copies that record, as long as it passes various validation checks. These validation checks are the same as those Vault runs for the Create Related Records wizard. 
* Pre-selected records are still subject to the wizard's validation checks. Vault logs all validation errors in the wizard's CSV results file.

When evaluating records to copy, Vault may additionally exclude local records based on:
* Whether a wizard user opts to limit the update's scope to only certain _Activities_.
* The target *Activity*, *Submission*, and/or *Regulatory Objective* record's lifecycle state. When specified via this feature's optional <a href="/en/gr/53688/#update-local-regulatory-information">sub-settings</a>, Vault does not copy _Event_ relationships to these local records in the configured state(s).
  
## Updating Local Regulatory Information {#updating-local-regulatory-information}

To copy *Event* relationship records to existing *Activity*, *Submission*, and/or *Regulatory Objective* records:

1. Open the associated *Event* record from Business Admin or a custom tab.
2. Select **Update Local Regulatory Information** from the record's **All Actions** menu. The action may only be available in certain lifecycle states, depending on your Vault's configuration.
3. On the **Select Relationships** page, review the list of available *Event* relationships to copy. By default, Vault detects relationships that have not yet been copied and pre-selects them for you. Select or de-select relationships as required, then click **Next**.
4. On the **Define Relationships** page, review the list of available *Event* relationship records to copy. By default, Vault detects records that have not yet been copied and pre-selects them for you. Select or de-select records as required, then click **Next**.
5. Optional: On the **Define Activities** page, you can limit the update's scope to only certain _Activities_ by checking **Select Activities**. Click **Next**, select the desired _Activity_ records, then click **Next** again once complete.
6. On the **Confirmation** page, review the summary of records Vault will create based on your selections. Click **Back** to re-define and/or re-select relationships, or click **Cancel** to discard all selections and return to the *Event* record.
7. Click **Finish** to begin creating records.

When you select **Finish**, Vault begins creating records according to your selections. Once complete, you'll receive an email and Vault notification with a CSV file confirming the records Vault created or updated.

## Limitations {#limitations}

The Update Local Regulatory Information wizard is intended to copy existing *Event* relationship records to existing *Activities*, *Submissions*, and/or *Regulatory Objectives* only; the wizard does not allow users to create new *Event* relationships. Similarly, when an *Event* relationship record is updated, the wizard does not push out those edits to any *Activity*, *Submission*, and/or *Regulatory Objective* relationship records which were created from that *Event* relationship. To add, replace, or withdraw *Event* details, use the <a href="/en/gr/5498722/">Create & Manage Event Details</a> wizard.

Vault cannot detect duplicate records when the *Activity*, *Submission*, and/or *Regulatory Objective* relationship object fields are <a href="/en/gr/8913022/">configured</a> with a default value. Contact your Vault Admin if the Update Local Regulatory Information wizard creates duplicate *Event* relationship records.
