About ImandrA vaults

Documents in ImandrA are stored in vaults. Depending on your organization’s configuration, you might have access to one or more vaults sites, for example, one vault that contains project documents and another vault that contains human resources documents. A vault acts as a secure, central repository for the storage of documents while they undergo changes.

The documents in ImandrA vaults are available to all authorized users to view, modify, print, and copy. In order to modify a document, a user must first check it out. ImandrA keeps track of who has the document checked out and displays the document’s status to the other users. After a user is finished modifying a document, they check it back into the vault, where it can be released as the latest revision.

The following figure illustrates the location of documents when they are checked out and checked in. By default, when a document is checked out, it is copied to a preconfigured local folder known as the workspace.
