Set up a formula-derived custom field on the Inquiry object to capture your unique
business data for medical inquiries. The field helps to achieve conditional display of action
buttons based on the user profile or persona. This configuration promotes a seamless workflow by
ensuring that sales representatives can only draft, sign, and submit medical inquiries whereas
medical science liaisons can only assign and respond to the inquiries.
