Question:

How to log in to the Windows Desktop app for Veeva CRM? 

Answer:

The Veeva CRM Windows Desktop app is now available for download and can be used in both Sandbox and Production orgs.

The Desktop app is a dedicated and independent app enabling users to access their media libraries whenever they need. In addition, the user's content in the app is automatically updated when changes are made to content in the Org.

Users can install the Veeva CRM Desktop app for Windows using one of the following options:

• Select Veeva CRM Desktop Install from the Veeva CRM Desktop homepage component (if configured)
• Select Start Media from a call report online
• Select Start Meeting from an Engage Meeting call report online
• Install manually using Setup.exe

To log in to the Windows Desktop, follow these steps below. 

1. Install and open the Windows Desktop App.
