Files stored in the Vault Server cannot be directly modified.
00:07
They must be downloaded from the Vault Server to a working folder on the Vault client machine,
00:13
prior to viewing or making changes to a file.
00:16
The downloaded files can be read-only or read-write,
00:19
depending on if the files are checked out from the server or not.
00:23
By default, the working folder is defined in the My Documents\Vault folder on the Vault client,
00:31
but depending on how your Vault administrator has set up the Vault,
00:35
you may be allowed to set a specific working folder location yourself.
00:39
This is done using the Set Working Folder... option, as shown in the image.
00:44
It is recommended that you do not change the working folder once you start working with the files in the Vault.
00:49
Changing the working folder will create duplicate folder structures on the local computer,
00:54
and might cause problems resolving files in your CAD application.
00:58
This may be why your administrator may limit your access for setting this folder.
01:03
Once the working folder is set up and files are downloaded from the Vault Server,
01:07
a server's file structure will be replicated in the client's working folder, as shown in this image.
01:13
Keep in mind that in this image, no files in the ICU Valve, Optic Mount 2, and Rotary Vee folders have been downloaded,
01:23
so the structure is not shown.
01:26
Within Vault Client, you can view the files in the working folder using Windows File Explorer,
01:32
by clicking Go to Working Folder in the Actions menu on the client.
01:36
One final thing to keep in mind is that only files in the working folder structure can be checked into the Vault.
01:43
As previously mentioned, administrators can decide whether they want to control the location of the working folder.
01:50
In the Working Folder Options, they can select to either allow users to set their own working folder location,
01:56
or they can enforce a standard location for everyone on their client machine.
02:01
If you can't change your working folder, it is likely that this was disabled by your administrator,
02:06
and you will receive the error message shown on the right.
