6.5 Working Directory

The “Working Directory” is the location where 4G:PLM saves the user’s work. Users working in 4G:PLM, often need attach files to the objects they create. These files are stored in a location, by default in their own local workstations. These locations are synced with a vault server to keep the user data safe and accessible by others, if needed. Users also import files, or data, from other system. They also need to export data from 4G:PLM, which later can be used in the systems or other users. These imported and exported data are also stored in this location. Administrators can specify the location, or the directories, where users can save their work. Administrators can also specify which vault server will act with these directories.

To configure the “Working Directory”, go to “Admin” menu and select “Set Working Directory”. The interface will allow you to:

·        Select a Remote Vault

·        Specify the directory for Attachments

·        Specify the directory for Imports

·        Specify the directory for Exports
