Update File Status

Update file statuses in a vault.

Note: This feature is available in Autodesk Vault Basic.

The Track File Status option must be turned on to track the status of files. The status of a file can be:

• Unknown
• Needs Updating
• Up to Date

Use the server console to scan the database for the status of each file. The File Status property for each file is then updated to reflect the current status of the file.

1. Select a vault from the navigation pane.
2. Select Actions  Update File Status.
3. If Track File Status is not turned on in the server console, you are asked if want to turn it on and then proceed with the update process. Click Yes.
4. You are warned that updating the status of files overwrites any status overrides that were set previously. Click Yes to continue.
5. You are prompted to stop the Web service if it is currently running. Click Yes to continue.
6. When the file status scan is done, click OK.
