The Dossier Library is your main hub for finding and opening dossiers. Every dossier that has been imported into Reviewer appears here. Think of it as your bookshelf of regulatory submissions.
Dossier Library — tile view showing imported dossiers
Opening the Dossier Library #
Click Dossier Library in the sidebar menu. The library opens showing all imported dossiers.
Library Views #
The view selector dropdown at the top lets you switch between six views:
| View | What It Shows | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| All Dossiers | Every imported dossier | Browsing your full library |
| All Submissions | Individual submissions across all dossiers | Finding a specific sequence number |
| Recently Viewed Dossiers | Dossiers you opened recently | Quickly getting back to what you were working on |
| Recently Viewed Submissions | Submissions you opened recently | Resuming review of a specific submission |
| Recently Viewed Documents | Documents you recently viewed | Finding that document you were just looking at |
| Favorites | Dossiers you have marked as favorites | Quick access to frequently reviewed dossiers |
Tile View vs. List View #
Two toggle buttons in the top-right let you switch the display:
Tile View (grid icon) — Shows dossiers as visual cards with the dossier name, application type, and key metadata. Best for browsing when you know what the dossier looks like.
List View (list icon) — Shows dossiers as a sortable table with columns for name, status, dates, and document count. Best for finding a specific dossier by sorting or scanning a long list.
Finding a Specific Dossier #
If you have many dossiers, use these tools to narrow down the list:
Search #
Type in the search bar (top-right of the dossier grid) to filter dossiers by name. The filter applies instantly as you type.
Filter #
Click the filter icon (funnel) in the toolbar to open the filter panel. You can filter by application type, status, date range, and other metadata fields. Click Save Filter to save a filter for reuse.
Sort #
In List View, click any column header to sort by that column. Click again to reverse the sort order.
Opening a Dossier #
This is the most important action in the library. To open a dossier and start reviewing:
- Find the dossier you want in the library (use search, filter, or browse).
- Double-click the dossier tile or row to open it.
- The Table of Contents (TOC) view opens, showing the submission’s eCTD structure in the left panel.
- Expand folders in the tree to browse documents. Click any document to view it in the right panel.
Toolbar Actions #
| Button | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Delete (trash icon) | Removes the selected dossier(s) from Reviewer. This does not delete the source files from the repository. |
| Export Dossiers (export icon) | Exports the dossier list as a downloadable file for reporting or record-keeping. |
| Refresh (via right-click menu) | Reloads the library from the server. Use this if a colleague just imported a dossier and you do not see it yet. |
Favorites #
If you frequently review the same dossiers, mark them as favorites for quick access. Right-click a dossier and select Add to Favorites. Then use the Favorites view to see only your starred dossiers.
