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.

1. 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.

2. In the navigation pane, select the Vaults folder.

3. Click Actions > Create.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.
   Note: The Civil 3D template is included with all three industry templates.

7. Click OK to finish creating the vault.
