Vault Clause for the Add Person Command

The vault clause specifies a default vault for the person you are defining. It is similar to setting a default directory in your operating system. When a person starts the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform, the context dialog fills in this vault as the default. The vault should be the one most commonly used by the person. Although the person can change to a different vault once the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform starts, it is helpful to set the vault that the person starts in.

To write a Vault clause, you use the name of an existing vault. If you are unsure of the vault name or want to see a listing of the available vaults, use the MQL List Vault command. This command produces a list of available vaults from which you can select.

To reduce network loads, vaults are often created locally, serving selected groups of users. When you are assigning the vault, you should determine if there is a vault local to the person you are defining. If there is more than one local vault, determine which is better suited for the person based on the type of work or objects used.

For example, the following person definition assigns the engineer to a vault related to the types of projects she will work on:

add person mcgivern
   fullname “Jenna C. McGivern”
   assign role Engineer
   assign group “Building Construction”
   vault “High Rise Apartments”;
