When files are checked in, comments are automatically added to help identify
and distinguish between the versions of the files that are automatically created.
You can modify the comments as desired during check in unless you suppressed
the Check In dialog box.
Shared sandbox guidelines
A shared workspace is a working folder located on a shared server for all users
to access. The shared workspace configuration can be used with:
■ Autodesk Vault Explorer
■ Autodesk Productstream
■ AutoCAD Vault Add-in
■ Microsoft Vault Add-in
You can choose to work in a local or shared working folder according to your
design requirements. A shared working folder is highly recommended for the
AutoCAD Electrical environment, especially in a multi-user situation, because
it enables you and your design team to keep all files up-to-date.
To use a shared workspace, the system administrator should preset a consistent
working folder for all project members to use. Assign the working folder
location to the root level ($) of the vault. A shared working folder cannot be
assigned to a subfolder.
NOTE If Inventor add-in clients will access the same vault, do not enforce a shared
working folder. If Inventor and AutoCAD Electrical are sharing the same vault, the
vault administrator cannot enforce the shared working folder. Each AutoCAD
Electrical user must set the working folder individually to point to a common
network drive.
Rules For Using Shared Working Folders
Using a shared workspace means multiple users may be working on the same
files. All your vault operations are protected as long as you log into the vault
prior to working on the files. The following guidelines will help prevent you
from overwriting the changes made by someone else, and vice versa.
1 Remain logged into the vault at all times. You can use the Vault auto
login option so you are automatically logged into the vault when
AutoCAD Electrical starts.
