The Generic Files to Vault page of the Vault Manager dialog helps you to migrate you generic files into the Vault.
Choosing files
The first step is to select the files which are to be checked into the Vault. Use the buttons to populate the list with the names of the files you wish to process.
- Same Design - specifies that files to be added will be linked to the same design.
- Add Files - browse to specific files to be added to the list. Once selected, it will open the Vault Item Browser dialog, allowing you to set an associated PCB, SCM or Panel design.
Settings
Several settings are provided to allow you to control how the items are checked into the Vault.
- Only Report Errors - the report produced at the end of each run can contain full details of what has happened, or only the errors found.
- Default Next Revision - leave this box ticked to check in your design files using the default next revision name. Uncheck the box to be prompted to enter a specific revision name.
- Vault Folder - choose the Vault folder for the destination of your files.
- Check In Note - this is the comment added to the Audit Trail record for the items checked in. You can add a separate note for each item being checked in by enabling the Allow separate note for each checked in item option and you will be prompted for each note in turn.
Check and Transfer
Once you have chosen the files you wish to process and altered any settings you wish to change, you are ready to begin processing the files.
- Check - Each of your files will be examined to see if can be checked in, following the rules for item referencing as defined on the Vault Setup dialog.
- To Vault - Each of your files will be checked in, again following the rules for item referencing.
