Applications allow you to organize your data and documents across multiple submissions. Applications are used to create submissions, which are then used to create submission content plans.
Applications in Veeva RIM Basics can contain multiple submissions. The application represents a set of documents that seek approval from a specific regulatory authority to market and sell a product in certain locations. The submission is an instance of that set of documentation sent to a regulatory authority. Over the life of a product, multiple submissions will be made from the associated application.
Because each submission requires the same core data throughout the lifetime of an application, Vault allows you to manage the application data in one place and apply that application data to any newly created submissions.
Vault Admins, RIM Admins, and Submission Managers have access to the Applications tab, while Document Managers do not.
