Repository Management

Repositories tell Reviewer where to find dossier files for import. A repository is a connection to a file storage location — either a shared filesystem directory or a Veeva Vault. You must have at least one repository configured before you can import dossiers.

Note: Repository Management is an admin-only feature. If you do not see Repositories in the sidebar, your role does not have repository management permissions. Ask your administrator to configure repositories for you.

Accessing Repository Management #

Click Repositories in the sidebar. The repository table shows all configured repositories with their names, types, and paths.

Adding a Filesystem Repository #

A filesystem repository points to a directory on the server that contains your eCTD dossier files.

  1. Click the Add Repository button.
  2. Enter a Repository Name — use something descriptive like “US Submissions Q1 2026” or “Shared NDA Repository.”
  3. Select Filesystem as the repository type.
  4. Enter the Path — this is the server-side path to the directory containing your dossier files.
    • Linux/Mac format: /mnt/shared/ectd-submissions
    • Windows format: \\\\server\\share\\submissions
  5. Click Save.
  6. The new repository appears in the table. You can now use it in Import Dossier.
Important: The path you enter must be accessible from the Reviewer server, not from your local machine. If you can see a folder on your desktop but the server cannot reach it, the repository will show as empty. Check with your IT team for the correct server-side path.

Adding a Veeva Vault Repository #

A Veeva Vault repository connects Reviewer to a Veeva Vault instance, allowing you to import dossier content directly from Vault.

  1. Click the Add Repository button.
  2. Enter a Repository Name.
  3. Select Veeva as the repository type.
  4. Enter the Vault URL — for example, https://yourcompany.veevavault.com.
  5. Enter your Veeva Username and Password.
  6. Click Save. Reviewer validates the connection before saving.

Editing a Repository #

Click a repository row in the table, then click Edit. Update the name, path, or credentials as needed, then click Save.

Deleting a Repository #

Select a repository and click Delete. A confirmation dialog asks you to confirm.

Important: You cannot delete a repository that has imported dossiers associated with it. Remove or reassign those dossiers first. Deleting a repository does not delete the files in the repository location — it only removes the connection from Reviewer.
