# Configuring Local Activity Assessment

Local Activity Assessment provides RIM Registrations users with an easy way to locate and disposition all *Activity Change Items* for which they are responsible. With a clear view of the remaining work to be completed and a conclusive indication when the changes are complete, users such as labeling specialists and CMC strategists can rely on this feature to easily capture the assessment of the change.

## Configuring Local Activity Assessment

To configure the Enable Local Activities viewer:

1. Enable the **Enable Assess Local Activities** Registrations setting. See [additional details][1] about the required subsettings. The setting must be enabled in order to configure the remaining components.
2. Review your Vault's *Event* object lifecycle configuration. For each relevant lifecycle state, configure a user action using the "Assess Local Activities" action. We recommend using the *In Assessment* state.
3. Review your Vault's security configuration and ensure users are assigned the appropriate [permissions][2] to use this feature.


### Configuring Application Settings {#app-settings}

In **Admin > Settings > Application Settings**, the **Enable Assess Local Activities** Registrations setting controls the feature overall. Once enabled, you must populate all subsettings.

</a>

The first **Activity Assessment View** you select determines the default grouped view when Vault launches the viewer.

* **Grouped by Change Item** is necessary only in Registrations Vaults with the **Enable Grouping of Change Items by Product Family** [setting](/en/lr/53688/#grouping-of-change-items) enabled.
* When you select both **Grouped by Lead Market** and **Grouped by Change Item**, the default view is the one listed first.

**Impact and Disposition Order** controls the order in which Vault determines the priority order of the assessment, based on the *Local Disposition* picklist values. The first item will be considered the most restrictive. We recommend using the default values and ordering (**Prior Approval Required to Implement**, **Implement then file**, then **No Regulatory Action Required to Implement**) however you can add, remove, or re-order the default values as required. This controls a validation check with which Vault ensures the local disposition does not have a lower value than the individual impact fields.

**Include Activities in the following states** determines the *Activity *records Vault loads in the viewer, according to the record's lifecycle state. We recommend the *Planned*, *In Assessment*, *Not Applicable*, and *Impact Identified* states, however you may select other states according to your organization's requirements.

**Include Activity Change Items in the following states** determines the *Activity Change Item* records Vault loads in the viewer, according to the record's lifecycle state. We recommend the *Planned*, *In Assessment*, *Impact Identified*, and *Not Applicable* states, however you may select other states according to your organization's requirements.


## Limitations

* It is possible for multiple users to run the *Assess Local Activities* action simultaneously. See [additional details](/en/lr/929927/#simultaneous-assessment) on how this may impact your Vault's users.
* The Assess Local Activities viewer displays up to 2,000 rows in the grid, and up to 20 **Local Activity** columns. Similarly, users can fastfill up to 2,000 rows at a time.


## About RIM Object Configurations {#object-config}

Some aspects of the Assess Local Activities viewer are controlled via the **Update Display Order** property value of the `activity__v` and `activity_change_item__v` RIM Object Configurations.

These aspects include:

* Displaying filter chips for impact fields, for example *CMC Impact* (`cmc_impact__v`)
* Adding or removing columns in the grid
* The viewer's default columns, including lifecycle state columns

See additional details about working with [RIM Object Configurations](/en/lr/702685/).


## Related Permissions {#permissions}

Generally, Assess Local Activities viewer users must generally have *Read* and *Edit* permission on the records and fields they are attempting to view and/or edit in the viewer. This means the viewer behaves such that:

* *Activity* records (rows) and descendant *Activity Change Items* are shown only when the user is permitted to view them.
* Fields (columns) are shown only when a user is permitted to view it.
* Fields can only be edited when a user is permitted to *Edit* that field. When attempting to edit a nonpermitted field via fastfill, Vault fastfills only the permitted fields.
