# Splitting Activities

When changes are bundled, it is possible that Health Authorities will reject some changes, or that pending labeling changes must be deferred and tracked separately from completed ones. The splitting wizard helps users to separate the unapproved or incomplete changes from the approved or completed changes, helping to ensure global traceability of their status.

## How to Split Activities

To split activities:

1. Navigate to **Registrations > Activities** and locate the activity you wish to split.
2. From the **Actions** menu on that activity, select **Start Splitting Process**. Depending on your Vault's configuration, the action may be labeled differently. 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 record definition page for **Activities**, enter a **Name** for the new activity. Depending on your Vault's configuration, this field may be pre-populated and not editable. Then, select or remove the registrations to relate to the new _Activity_ record. Click **Next**.
4. Optional: On the record definition page for **Activity** **Labeling Concepts**, you will see a filtered list of _Labeling Concepts_ that are related to the initial activity. Select the labeling concepts you want to associate with the new activity. When you complete the wizard, Vault will inactivate the records you select and copy the _Local Concept Disposition_ to the new labeling concepts. Click **Next**.
5. On the record definition page for **Regulatory Objectives**, set the **Select Existing** option to choose an existing _Regulatory Objective_, then click **Next**. You can also select **Create New** to create a new record, then enter the required details. Depending on your Vault's configuration, the **Name** field may be pre-populated and uneditable, and you may have the option to set **Mark unused Regulatory Objectives as inactive** to select _Regulatory Objectives_ related to the _Application_.
6. On the record definition page for **Submissions**, set the **Select Existing** option to choose an existing _Submission_, then click **Next**. You can also select **Create New** to create a new record, then enter the required details. **Application Number** is automatically selected based on the selection for the new activity. If enabled in your Vault, you can also set **Mark unused Submissions as inactive** to select _Submissions_ related to the _Application_.
7. On the **Select Relationships** page, choose the relationship type that you want to split from the existing regulatory objective. Click **Next**.
8. On the **Define Relationships** page, choose the specific relationships that you want to split from the existing regulatory objective. Click **Next**.
9. 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.
10. 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 _Activity_ record until processing is complete. This prevents Vault from inadvertently creating duplicate records.

      <p><strong>Note</strong>: If your organization tracks labeling <em>Activities</em> for cross-functional <em>Events</em> using <a href="/en/lr/71816/#non-labeling-event-overview">dependencies</a>, Vault sets the field on target <em>Activity</em> records with the same <em>Local Labeling Impact</em> value as the source <em>Activity</em> record, and does not display the field in the wizard. To capture a value for the <em>Local Labeling Impact</em>, allow Vault to create the target <em>Activity</em> record, then edit and re-save the new record with the desired <em>Local Labeling Impact</em>.</p>

## 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.

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 activities, Vault includes each change made in the impacted object record's audit trail.
