• Combines document management and submission publishing  
  Collaborative Submissions is a unified solution that brings together document, forms and records management with submission publishing in a single, robust environment. Collaborative Submissions supports a wide range of business processes from ad hoc to tightly sequenced workflows, enabling full support for the lifecycle of completed submissions as well as all of their constituent documents and components.
• Manages all submission types  
  All regulatory submissions, of all sizes, formats and types can be managed in a unified environment at every stage in the development and approval process for each drug or device product.
• Applies a unified taxonomy  
  You can organize supporting documents according to predefined taxonomies, such as for the electronic Common Technical Document (eCTD) Document Type Definition (DTD), but extend these to match your internal needs and processes.
• Manages hyperlinks  
  All links between submission components are managed dynamically in Collaborative Submissions. Reports track the status of links, including version changes to the source and target documents. On export, the final hyperlinks are embedded within the documents.
• Creates previews  
  At anytime during the assembly process, you can create a Preview of a work-in-progress, to see what a completed submission will look like. You can export this preview to a file system.
• Freezes submissions  
  When the assembly and approval phases are finished, you can freeze the entire submission, locking it against further changes, then export the complete submission from Collaborative Submissions, generating all of the required XML.
• Automates business processes  
  Processes using workflow, electronic forms, and electronic signature capabilitiesimprove productivity and ensure accuracy and auditability. Design electronic forms and workflows with easy-to-use, drag-and-drop design tools. Convert paper-based forms to electronic format and use them to initiate business processes.
• Provides role-based access controls  
  Tightly regulate access rights and permissions according to the roles of participants in the creation, assembly, and publishing of submissions.
• Manages submission components  
  Manage the full lifecycle of component documents with services such as check-in/check-out, version history, event auditing, signing, and access control using permissions, alternate renditions, and compound documents.
• Integrates with user workstations  
  Work with items in the Livelink ECM repository via menus and drag-and-drop directly from the Windows desktop in online or offline mode, using existing productivity tools such as Microsoft Office, Adobe Acrobat, Windows Explorer, and WebDAV-compliant applications.
• Captures external content in assembled submissions  
  Collaborative Submissions can interface with other Livelink ECM-based instances, legacy document management systems, and file stores to access all components required for complete submission assembly.

  Reduce risk by managing the entire lifecycle of all electronic and physical corporate records. Create record classification plans, manage retention periods and disposition policies, place holds on items scheduled for destruction, and manage the storage and circulation of physical records.
