Create a vault (modified in an update) - HxGN SDx - HxGN SDx - Reference - Hexagon

The following applies if you are using a version of the software before Update 16. For the latest information, see Create a new vault.

Before Update 16, vaults must be created in the Desktop Client.

1. Click File > New > Administration > Vault in the Desktop Client.

2. In the New Vault dialog box, type a Name and Description for the vault.

   

   • Do not use numbers for the leading characters of the vault name if you will be performing batch print, PDF generation, or archive and purge operations on files in the vault. These operations fail if the name begins with numeric characters. For example, "Vault1001" is acceptable, but "1001Vault" is not.

   • Do not use spaces in the vault name.

   • Do not start the name of the vault with the letter combination "xml".

3. Complete the other fields as required.

   Property	Description
   Local path	Location in which the files are stored on the server.
   Sub directory property expression	The name of the property of a file or related object used to name subdirectories when those files or related objects are added to the vault.
   Host	Name of the host for this vault. The host (web server) is where the vault is located.
   Maximum file count	Maximum number of files to be stored in the vault. To specify no file limit, enter 0.

4. Click Finish to create the vault.

For objects to be stored in the vault, you may need to relate an interface to the vault for the type of object being added to the vault. For more information, see Force a class of object to a vault.
