Create a Vault

Use the server console to create additional vaults.

You can organize your information into different locations by creating different vaults. Vaults are completely independent from each other. A client computer can only be logged on to one vault at a time.

Note: When adding a vault in a multi-site environment, the new vault is disabled for all other sites by default. All other sites must enable the new vault.

Launch the Autodesk Data Management Server Console.
Note: If this is the first time launching the Autodesk Data Management Server Console, you are asked if you want to create a vault. Click yes, log in, and skip to step 3.
In the navigation pane, select the Vaults folder.
Click Actions Create.
In the Create Vault dialog box, enter the name for the new vault. The name cannot contain special characters or spaces.
Note: A vault cannot have the same name as an existing library.
The file store can be located in a default location, or a new location can be specified. Click OK to create the new vault with the default file store location, or click Select File Store Location to specify a new location, and then click OK.
Note: The file store is where the vault database stores the actual files that are in the vault server. The location can be local or remote. If you want to specify a location on another computer, use UNC path naming conventions. For example: \\SERVER\SHARE\Vault.
If you want to accept the Default Vault configuration, click OK to create the Vault.
Otherwise, select Use Configuration and choose one of the following configuration templates for your vault:
- Building–Creates a vault with inherent properties for Architectural, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) design workflows.
- Infrastructure–Creates a vault with inherent properties for Engineering, Natural Resources, and Infrastructure (ENI) design workflows.
- Manufacturing–Creates a vault with inherent properties for Manufacturing (MFG) design workflows.
Click OK to finish creating the vault.
