Question:
How to Locate the Vault Record ID, Direct URL of a Record, Document or a Component in Veeva Vault?
Answer:
The Record ID is a unique identifier of each object record, object and component in Vault. In case of Documents, the standard links contains the Document ID, Major and Minor Versions.
The Record ID of specific objects and entities in Vault are special and different compared to most objects. This is applied to every Vault Application.
Providing these Record IDs and whole URLs to Veeva Product Support or reusing them internally can be very useful as they make navigation much easier and smoother. In general, the URLs are reusable and can be shared if they have been retrieved from the Business Admin page.
There are some object record or Vault component use cases whose URLs need to be acquired from the Vault UI, one of the examples is Reporting.
Vault Owners and Vault System Administrators typically have access to Business Admin, end users do not, meaning that these methods are generally. applied to Vault Owners and Vault System Administrators.
In case of Objects and Object Records, the following example demonstrates it with a custom object, however this is applied to every out of the box object following the same pattern (convention).
Having these URLs on hand makes troubleshooting and navigation easier.
Right-click and open images in a new tab if needed.

1. Custom Object & Object Record Example (Applies to Out of the box objects as well)
In case of Objects and Object Records, the following example demonstrates it with a custom object, however this is applied to every out of the box object following the same pattern.
Here in this case, this URL leads straight to the record in the event a user logs into this Vault, and has access to the record itself.
V7O000000001001 is the Record ID.
V7O points to all of the records for the tab view of the object.
In this case, this URL leads straight to the record in the event a user logs into this Vault, and has access to the record itself.
https://supportvaults-platform-gr-vv1-1077-community.veevavault.com/ui/#v/V7O/V7O000000001001
While this URL points to the tab of the object where all records can be seen:
https://supportvaults-platform-gr-vv1-1077-community.veevavault.com/ui/#v/V7O/
2. User Object Record Example
The User object uses special IDs, called User IDs.
In this case the User ID is: 15873889
The URL leading straight to this record:
https://supportvaults-platform-gr-vv1-1077-community.veevavault.com/ui/#admin/users_group/vault_users/V0A/15873889
The Object Tab URL is special and as follows:
https://supportvaults-platform-gr-vv1-1077-community.veevavault.com/ui/#admin/users_group/vault_users?ivp=1
3. Document Example (Applies to Binders as well)
Documents are a special entity in Vault, in this case the URL looks as follows:
Document ID: 10512
Major Version: 0

The URL is in this case:
https://supportvaults-platform-gr-vv1-1077-community.veevavault.com/ui/#doc_info/10512/0/1
https://supportvaults-zv-test-sandbox-actions.veevavault.com/ui/#permalink=V0W000000001001
4. Workflow Component Example (Applies to Steps and so on)
Components also have their direct URL. Here is a Workflow example:
The URL is in this case:
https://supportvaults-platform-gr-vv1-1077-community.veevavault.com/ui/#admin/content_setup/one_workflows/multidoc_workflows=&wf=collab_authoring_test_2__c
5. Lifecycle Component Example (Applies to States and so on)

6. Report Example
The URL is in this case:
https://supportvaults-platform-gr-vv1-1077-community.veevavault.com/ui/#reporting/viewer/0RP00000001Z001
The Report ID is: 0RP00000001Z001
7. Dashboard Example

Here in this case the ID is going to be V0S000000001001, however reusing, so copying and pasting the whole URL is needed, as these special Object Record URLs can contain multiple IDs.
9. Operations - Job Status - Job ID Example
In case of Platform related jobs:
https://supportvaults-platform-gr-vv1-1077-community.veevavault.com/ui/#admin/operations/job_status leads to the Job Status page.
In Job History, past jobs can be seen.

https://supportvaults-platform-gr-vv1-1077-community.veevavault.com/ui/#admin/operations/job_status=&d=269764&isHistory=true
The Job ID is 259764
Replacing the Job ID number in this URL can lead to any Jobs which have not expired yet (30 days).
On the Job Status page, downloading the job log is possible by hovering over the 3 dots located next to the job.
The format of these files looks as follows:
vaultid-jobid.txt
Noting that it is possible to search for jobs by clicking View All in the bottom right corner, underneath History.
Using Filters, the relevant Jobs can be found easier. For example, by selecting Job Title typing Vault Loader and clicking on Add will display only Vault Loader jobs.
