Manage Prompts

There are several ways to streamline your vault workflow. You can specify the default response for common dialogs so that every time certain dialogs are displayed, your preferred response is the default selection. You can also specify which commands are automatically performed without prompting you for input, reducing the number of times you need to directly interact with the vault.

   • Always prompt

   • Don't ever prompt again  

   The default is Always prompt. If you select Don't ever prompt again, the answer you select for the prompt is set as the default answer and the command is performed automatically using the default answer without prompting you from this point forward.
