Import Submission

Import a submission into your Vault.

Before submitting this request:

You must be assigned permissions to use the API and have permissions to view and edit the specified submission__v object record.
You must create the corresponding object records for the Submission and Application objects in your Vault.
You must create and upload a valid submission import file or folder to file staging. The submission to import must be in a specific location and format.

Submission Import File Location & Structure

The submission import file must be located in one of the following places, and must be in a specific folder structure.

At the Root

If your submission import is located at the file staging root, it must follow the following structure:

/SubmissionsArchive/{application_folder}/{submission_file_or_folder}

{application_folder}: This required folder can have any name you wish.
{submission_file_or_folder}: If this is a file containing your submission, it must be a .zip or .tar.gz. If this is a folder, it must contain your submission to import. This required folder can have any name you wish.

For example, /SubmissionsArchive/nda654321/0001.zip.

Within a User Folder

In some cases, your Vault user permissions may prevent you from uploading directly to the file staging root. In these cases, you must upload to your user folder using the following structure:

/u[ID]/Submissions Archive Import/{application_folder}/{submission_folder}

{application_folder}: This required folder can have any name you wish.
{submission_folder}: The folder containing your submission to import. This required folder can have any name you wish. Vault does not support importing .zip or .tar.gz files from user folders.

For example, /u5678/Submissions Archive Import/nda123456/0013.

You may also receive one or more warnings. The warnings shown above indicate that the folders being imported do not match the object records in our Vault. To fix this warning, we can change the folder name or object record name. However, warnings are not fatal and you may choose to take no action.

Before submitting this request, we created a submission__v object record and application__v object record in our Vault. We also created submissions ZIP file containing a "Submission" folder and "Application" folder. This was loaded to file staging awaiting import. Ideally, we would have named and structured the folders to match that of the submission that was sent to the health authority and which we are now archiving. However, this is not critical to the import process.
