Vault stakeholders can use the Help & Support page to download the details of their Vault application family’s object data model, directly from any Vault within the family.
Data Model File Content
The data model file is a single, multiple-tab Excel (XLSX) file containing data model information for that Vault’s entire application family for the indicated General Release, regardless of the individual applications enabled in that Vault. For example, the file available in a Submissions and Submissions Archive RIM Vault includes data model information for these applications, as well as the other RIM applications (Registrations, Publishing).
Note: The data model file is a non-validated, English-only artifact of your application family’s product development process. As such, the data contained within is not an automated export of your Vault’s data model as it is currently configured, and custom (__c) components are not included. Always reference your Vault’s Configuration Report and Compare Report for full data model details.
Data Model
The Veeva-delivered objects and object types for the indicated release are detailed across several tabs within the sheet. These tabs can include:
- Filterable lists of platform standard objects and object types relevant for the application family, for example the Integration (
integration__sys) and Integration Point (integration_point__sys) objects used in Vault Connections. - Filterable lists of application-specific standard objects and object types, for example the Quality Audit object (
audit__qdm) and its External Audit (external_audit__qdm), Inspection (inspection__v), and Internal Audit (internal_audit__qdm) object types. - Diagrams illustrating application object relationships, for example the RIM Regulatory Objective object’s (
regulatory_objective__rim) relationships with various other RIM objects, including Activity (activity__rim), Application (application__v), and Registration (registration__rim).
Data Model Changes
With every release, we update the data model to better support evolving needs and new feature functionality. Your application’s data model file includes a tab with an inventory of these changes. For information on specific feature functionality, see Vault Release Notes.
Note: As of the 25R1 General Release, the file’s data model change content is intended to replace the feature-specific data model changes previously published as Vault Release Notes. See your application family’s Veeva Connect community for more information.
Accessing the Data Model File
To access the file, choose Help from the menu in the upper right corner of any Vault page and click Data Model Documentation under Help Documentation.
The link is not visible when your application family does not have a file for that release, or if you do not have the appropriate permissions.
Note: Finalized data model files are available for download from a production Vault upon its General Release upgrade, and an early draft may also be available in pre-release Vaults. Each time this occurs, the previous release’s file is replaced by the current release’s file. To maintain historical information, we recommend downloading and storing data model files prior to the upgrade.
