What is the Vault Mobile App?

The Vault mobile app is the companion app to Autodesk's Vault Product Data Management (PDM) software.

The app helps you access your data and work more quickly. It does not replace the Vault desktop client. Both products provide access to data and project management tools and support distinct use cases.

In the Vault mobile app, you can quickly search the vault to view, download, and share vault data. Accessing data is quicker, more intuitive, and not restricted to your Vault network. The mobile app does have limitations. The following are examples of features not currently included:

  • Lifecycle Definition
  • Custom Objects
  • Duplicate Search
  • Copy Design
  • Role Management
  • Other administrator features

In the Vault client, you can complete complex tasks and open files in CAD programs. The Vault client includes robust features and management functionality not available in the mobile app. Opening CAD files in other desktop software, like Autodesk Inventor, requires the desktop client.

The Vault mobile app provides quick access and improved usability in non-CAD use cases. The Vault client provides an environment with robust features for in-CAD use cases.
