Configure Vault Settings

The settings of a vault determine some of its basic functionality that applies to all documents within the vault, regardless of their document type. The entire configuration of a vault is also known as its environment.

To configure a vault’s settings:

1. In Configurator, expand Environment in the configuration tree and select Vault Settings. The vault’s settings appear in property pages in the right pane.
2. On the General page, the properties in the following table are read-only and cannot be edited in Configurator.

3. Click the Edit button to make changes.

4. On the General page, click options or type values using the descriptions in the following table.

   Vault general options

   Option	Description
   Vault name	The name of the vault as it appears to users. Read-only.
   Environment revision	The revision number of the vault’s configuration data. This property can be useful for tracking and documenting changes that are made to the vault’s configuration. Read-only.
   Server name	The name of the computer where the Accruent EDM Server service is running. Read-only.
   EDM Server revision	The revision number of the Accruent EDM Server service software. Read-only.

   After importing documents	Select an option for the initial state of documents after they have been imported into the vault. Set state to Under Quick Change: The documents must be released from the Quick Change workflow before their status is Released. Set state to Unchanged: The documents are not in a workflow. The Unchanged status is equivalent to Released except that it does not result from a workflow.

   Use document type security	Select this option to restrict user access to specific document types. For information on security roles, see Security Roles.
   Use renditions	Enable this option if documents in this vault will be rendered or published by Accruent Publisher. This option enables the rendition features in the client applications. Note: To specify the default file extension of documents to import as renditions of existing documents during drag-and-drop operations, set the DefaultRenditionExtension setting to the file extension, for example, .pdf. This setting can be configured in the [Vault] section of the Application Integration settings as described in Configure Managed Change.
