Autodesk Vault Workflow

Follow these steps for each new Autodesk Vault project.

Designate a Vault Server and database		Designate a Vault server and database for the project.
Create the project in the database		Create the project folder and subfolders, ideally using a standard template.
Create Vault user names and groups		Set appropriate access permissions for user groups to protect the project data.
Identify and partition project objects		Identify project objects and develop a strategy for partitioning project object data.
Add drawings to the project		While adding source drawings to the project, designate which objects can be shared with other drawings.
Create references to source objects in other drawings		Create read-only object references to save space in the consumer drawings.
Synchronize drawings with latest project data		Ensure that data references are regularly updated with the latest versions of project objects as designs change.
Label project milestones		When a major milestone is reached, use the Vault Labeling feature to tag the appropriate version of each project file.
