Manage Distributed Options

Use the Manage Distributed Options dialog to save, define, and manage all the defined options.

An administrator can deploy the options to the Vault Client, allowing users to use it for their regular activities.

As a user, you can use the distributed options created by the administrator, modify the distributed options as per your requirement, or use a different option. If there are any changes to the distributed options, you will receive an update notification. You can accept or reject the changes to the distributed options in the workspaces. If rejected, the changes will not impact any local edits you have made to the distributed options. Those options with local edits will have an “i” icon beside the option name in the Manage Distributed Options dialog.
