We'll continue on here on the "Vault" topic and address how you can access the layouts and assets within the "Vault" environment.
00:19
Switching over to "Vault," we go ahead and launch the "Vault Professional" client.
00:27
This is the desktop application that would be installed on all "Vault" workstations.
00:34
From there, we're going to log in to our factory enabled "Vault."
00:44
Once you log in, you will see a typical "Vault" layout. However, factory enabled "Vaults" have some differences.
00:53
When you create the factory enabled "Vault" using the factory configuration file,
00:59
you'll see that you have a "Factory Asset" and "Factory Layout" section within the vault browser.
01:06
These two act very similarly to an Inventor Content Center file or location.
01:16
They are essentially libraries that contain layouts within the "Factory Layout" section and assets within the "Factory Asset" section.
01:26
These ultimately are tied to some physical folders.
01:32
In my case, I have my "Factory Assets" located within this "FactoryAssets" folder.
01:39
Earlier in the first section, I identified the location where this can be configured.
01:46
To configure the "Factory Asset" location and "Layout" location,
01:51
you can name the libraries and point to a specific directory.
01:58
The library name is what you will see on the CAD application.
02:02
And the path is where the files ultimately go within the "Vault."
02:10
Accessing the assets from this folder, versus this location, is essentially the same thing.
02:19
The "Factory Asset" location will obscure the number of files and such from user interaction.
02:31
Within the "Factory Asset" section,
02:33
you have a single file type representation of the grouping of underlying files.
02:41
This is to simplify the process and searching around specific assets.
02:50
In "Vault" terms, the "Factory Asset" section is a library location.
