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

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.
Set state to Under Change: The documents must be released from their document type workflow before their status is Released.
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.
