# Working with Local Adaptations (Veeva Claims) [Veeva Claims](/en/lr/54331/) provides the ability to create local adaptations of [claims](/en/lr/54337/) in order to review and approve claims for a product in different countries. _Local Adaptation_ records contain all information for a local adaptation from a _Claim_ record, including _Statement_ text, adapted for different countries. Depending on your [Admin's configuration](/en/lr/76206/), object, field, and section labels may appear differently than the labels mentioned in this article. ## Viewing Local Adaptations You can access a master list of all local adaptations on the _Local Adaptations_ tab. To view an individual claim's detail page, click on its _Name_. We recommend adding the _Source Local Adaptation_ and _Source Local Adaptation Claim_ columns to your view by [customizing the records grid ](/en/lr/44069/#list_page) so that you can see the source records of any [copied _Local Adaptations_][1]. ## Searching Local Adaptations You can [search](/en/lr/442/) for statement text in local adaptations by selecting _Local Adaptations_ from the drop-down selector on the primary search bar. The _Local Adaptations_ tab shows all _Local Adaptations_ by default. You can [add filters](/en/lr/1616/) or [custom views](/en/lr/23830/) to limit the types of local adaptations displayed. ## Creating Local Adaptations {#local-adapt} You can create local adaptations of claims in order to adapt claims for certain local markets. _Local Adaptation_ records are assigned the initial (_Proposed_) state. You can also copy existing _Local Adaptations_ to create new records. Depending on your Admin's configuration, you may be able to create local adaptations for multiple countries in bulk using a bulk action. Bulk Create Local Adaptations dialog The _Claim_ object with local adaptations includes the following read-only fields: * **Local Adaptation Count**: Displays the number of local adaptations created for the parent _Claim_ object record. * **\# of Rejected Local Adaptations**: Displays a count of the number of local adaptations in the _Rejected_ state. * **\# of Challenged Local Adaptations**: Displays a count of the number of local adaptations in the _Challenged_ state. ### How to Create Single Local Adaptations {#create-la} To create a single _Local Adaptation_: 1. Navigate to the _Claim_ for which you want to create a local adaptation. 2. In the _Local Adaptation_ section, click **Create**. 3. Choose the **Country** for which you want to create the local adaptation. 4. Optional: Enter the **Footnote**. 5. Optional: Select the **Marketing Channels**. 6. Optional: Select the appropriate **Statement**. The values available for selection are the statements relating to the _Claim_ (including global and local _Statements_). 7. Click **Save**. ### How to Copy Local Adaptations {#copy-la} You can create a new _Local Adaptation_ by [copying](/en/lr/32218/) an existing _Local Adaptation_ record. When configured by your Admin, you can also deep copy the related _Local Adaptation_ hierarchy when [copying a _Claim_](/en/lr/54337/#copy-claim). ### How to Bulk Create Multiple Local Adaptations {#bulk-la} To create multiple _Local Adaptations_ in bulk: 1. Navigate to the _Claim_ for which you want to bulk create local adaptations. 2. From the **All Actions** menu, select **Bulk Create Local Adaptations**. 3. In the _Bulk Create Local Adaptations_ dialog, select the locations for which you want to create the local adaptation. For each location you select, Vault creates a unique corresponding _Local Adaptation_ record. 4. Optional: Review the selections in the **Select Marketing Channels** field and remove or add any, if needed. 5. Optional: Modify the footnote details. If you do not modify the footnote details, the local adaptation inherits the footnote from the selected parent _Claim_. 6. Click **Continue**. The local adaptation claims appear in the **Local Adaptations** section of the specified _Claim_ when created. ## Adding & Replying to Comments {#comments} When configured by your Admin, you can add and reply to comments on _Local Adaptation_ records. See [Using Comments](/en/lr/520894/) for more details. ## Adding Substantiation Documents {#substantiation} You can add _Substantiations_ to _Claims_ and _Local Adaptations_ to provide proof of validity and view all _Substantiations_, and their related _Claims_, supported by each substantiation document in your Vault. See [Substantiating Claims & Local Adaptations](/en/lr/492018/) for more details about creating _Substantiations_, associating each record to a relevant reference document, and adding them to _Claims_. ## Creating Local Adaptations from a Project You can also create _Local Adaptations_ for multiple locations from a _Project_. See [Creating Local Adaptations from a Project](/en/lr/78535/) for more details. ## Populating Statement Translations for Local Adaptations Depending on your Admin's configuration, you may be able to populate statement translations for local adaptations when the local adaptation is in a particular lifecycle state. The _Populate Statement Translations_ action uses Admin-configured country-language mappings to generate _Local Adaptation Statement Join_ records based on the global statement of each specified _Claim_. ### How to Populate Statement Translations To populate statement translations for local adaptations: 1. Navigate to the appropriate _Local Adaptation_ record. 2. From the **All Actions** menu, select **Populate Statement Translations**. When notified, navigate to the _Statements_ section to see the newly-created _Statements_ records.
