Viewing and editing vault properties

After you create a vault, you can later view and edit the options that you set during creation as well as others. You might want to do this to:

• Optimize its performance
• Reconfigure its database file locations
• Change history retention
• Adjust client options

To view or edit a vault's properties:

1. In Administrator, click EDM Server in the left pane. The list of active vaults appears in the right pane.
2. Select the vault in the right pane for which you want to view or edit its properties.
3. On the Action menu, select Properties. The vault’s Properties dialog box appears. Many of the options that are accessible from this dialog are the options that were set when the vault was created.

4. Click options or type values using the descriptions in the following table.

   Vault configuration options

   Option	Description
   Name	Internal name of the vault. Read-only.
   Display name	Name of the vault as seen by users. Read-only. For information on renaming a vault, see Renaming a vault.
   Engine	Name of the database engine for the current vault. Read-only.
   Database path	Path of vault database files. Read-only. For information about moving a vault, see About moving a vault.
   Content path	Path of vault content files. Read-only. For information about moving a vault, see About moving a vault.
   Maintain history on Main area	Retains all revisions of documents that are changed within the Main area of the vault. Otherwise, only the latest revision will reside in the vault. This option uses more disk space. To remove unused revisions, they can be archived as described in Archiving documents or removed as described in Removing vault history. For information on not using history for mechanical industry applications, see the BlueCielo TeamWork User's Guide.
   Hide documents from users with insufficient privileges	Controls the visibility of documents depending on the user's security privileges. Enabling this option will have a negative effect on server performance when displaying folder contents, evaluating security, and searches.
   Force clients to access documents from Local Workspace	Controls the use of Local Workspace. For more information, see About Local Workspace.
