Configuring Chronology Queries (RIM)

Chronology queries allow you to view Application object records chronologically in a single report, giving critical business insights on complex data extracted from your Vault.

You can also use multi-pass reporting to configure an Application Chronology report that connects submissions, regulatory objectives, commitments, and correspondence documents to an application, all ordered by a date. Your organization can use this report to see everything that has occurred for an application organized in chronological order. See Configuring the Application Chronology Multi-Pass Report for details.

Note: This feature is only available on RIM Vaults.

How to Configure Chronology Queries

After Veeva Support enables this feature, you can update settings for chronology queries from Admin > Settings > Application Settings. Use the following settings to configure the Chronology Report query:

Submission Object: Select a date field from the Submission object. This selection controls the sort order of the Submission records in the returned CSV for the Chronology Report. Sort always shows most recent dates first and oldest dates last.
Commitment Object: Select a date field from the Commitment object. This selection controls the sort order of the Commitment records in the returned CSV for the Chronology Report. Sort always shows most recent dates first and oldest dates last.
Document Type: Select a document type. Vault only includes documents with the specified document type in the query results. The document type you select needs to have at least one document field referencing the Application object.
Application Field: Select a document field that references the Application object. Vault uses this field to determine which documents are related to the application on which a user triggered the query.
Date Field for Sorting: Select a date-type document field for the document type selected. Vault uses this date field to order the chronology query in reverse chronological order.
