After you’ve created an application, you can use that application to create submissions, which are then used to create submission content plans.

To facilitate data integrity and ease data management across your submissions, RIM Basics: Submissions includes the Submission Wizard. You can use the Submission Wizard to create or update submissions within an application. The Submission Wizard can help Regulatory Operations Managers ensure that the related product family data is accurate and complete.
You can launch the Submission Wizard from an application and follow the Wizard’s steps as it walks you through the submission creation process.
Vault Admins, RIM Admins, and Submission Managers have access to the Applications and Submissions tabs, while Document Managers do not.
When you first create a submission, its status is Planned. Once you use a submission to create a content plan, Vault automatically sets the submission’s status to In Progress, but you can manually change the status as needed.
Submissions use the following statuses:
- Planned: The submission is planned but work has not yet started. You can change a Planned submission to In Progress or Canceled.
- In Progress: The submission is being actively worked on in preparation for submission to a health authority. You can change an In Progress submission to Planned, Archived, or Canceled.
- Archived: The submission has been archived. You can change an Archived submission back to In Progress.
- Canceled: The submission has been canceled and is no longer applicable. You can change a Canceled submission back to Planned or In Progress.
