Create an Application

Who can complete this task? Veeva RIM Basics: Vault Admin, RIM Admin, Submission Manager

A regulatory application is a formal submission comprising a set of documents made to a regulatory authority, such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States or the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in the European Union, to obtain approval for the development, testing, or marketing of a product.

In Veeva RIM Basics, an Application can contain multiple Submissions, each with the same core data. After the Vault Administrator has set up the core RIM product data, you can begin working on your first submission. The first step is to create the application.
