Administrative Tools
Administrative tools for Veeva Network are accessible via an Admin Vault page called Network Administration by selecting Network Administration in the Vault CRM Configuration section of the Configuration tab.
The network admin page allows the user to manage Veeva Network credentials. Each section is modeled as a standard detail page layout with its own actions. Only Administrators have access to the tools and are able to enter any information.

Veeva Network Credentials
The Edit action opens the Veeva Network credentials entry window. The user must enter the URL, username, and password they use to access Veeva Network. If the credentials are valid, the window closes and the Credential Status field displays as Valid. If the authentication fails, then an error message displays inline in the window. The error is defined by the NETWORK_ADMIN_PAGE_UPDFAILURE_ALERT;;Network Veeva message.
The Validate action refreshes the value of the Credential Status field. When the user selects the action, the field value becomes either Valid or Invalid based on the outcome of the operation.
The user clicks Cancel to close the window without saving. The action caption is defined by the CANCEL;;Common Veeva message.
Deprecating Hard-coded System Identification
In order to allow for more flexible data subscription process, Vault CRM can be identified according to system names configured in Network. This lifts the restriction of the system name being hard coded and including the Vault CRM ID(VCRM-[ID]).
System Name is used in several key Network Integration processes, most notably the Vault CRM-NTW custom key association process. It is important to understand the implications of changing the Vault CRM system name for live implementations. Although the older methods of system identification are still supported, it is a best practice, when enabling the integration, to use the new method of identifying the system.
A new section in the Network Administration console called 'System Identification' manages the system name. Selecting the edit action in this section displays a system name edit dialog that contains dialog all of the configured system names in Network. This information comes directly from Network. There is no way to type in the system name. Once selected, clicking Submit commits the change.
