At Autodesk University 2013 you learned that right under your fingertips, already installed on your machines, lies Vault software functionality that can have a drastic impact on the way you work (view the original course). We taught you how to increase productivity, reduce employee stress, and maximize output by learning about functionality that exists in our products today. We scratched the surface, but there is so much more to explore. In the sequel we'll uncover functionality that we didn't have time to cover in the first class, and we'll dive into more of the functionality of Vault Workgroup software and Vault Professional software. This lecture will feature real-world demonstrations of the content. It is time to use the Vault software product to its full potential.

Managing your data is critical, and keeping it managed for releases can be a key to having the right designs available at the right times. This class will explore the ins and outs of using Autodesk® Vault Workgroup, Autodesk® Vault Collaboration, and Autodesk® Vault Professional to manage the release process of your design documents. We will cover several aspects of release management, including how to build the right lifecycle workflow and how to incorporate Vault engineering change order (ECO) capabilities into your process. We will also explore the key considerations for security and access to your data. If you want to take full advantage of all Vault has to offer to manage your designs, this class is for you!

Get started programming Vault Workgroup or Vault Professional applications, extensions, and custom jobs. The Vault 2020 Software Development Kit (SDK) shares new templates and sample code removing barriers accessing the entry level in Vault Web Services, Vault Job Processor, and Vault Client programming. This class will discuss real-life automation and extension tasks, and will guide participants through the steps required to solve them.

Are you investigating deploying your Vault Workgroup or Vault Professional Server software in a virtual cloud environment? Learn the tools necessary to spin up a hosted server instance to install the Vault Server software for your enterprise. Hear from an experienced customer about how they deployed their configuration in a hosted environment, and the lessons they learned along the way.

With Vault Data Standard 2017 software, further workflows have been simplified so you can get more with less. In this class, we will cover the changes applied in Vault Data Standard 2017 software, and see how you can use those changes in the context of project requirements. We will see how categories and numbering schemes can play together with Vault Data Standard software, how custom objects benefit from the new Vault Data Standard 2017 software, how with simple rules you can cover typical workflows, and some more news. This session features Vault Professional and Vault Workgroup.

In the latest release, Vault data management software introduced the capability to automatically publish and share 2D PDFs of drawings during the release process. In this class, we'll explore the different aspects of this new functionality. We'll take you through the steps to correctly set up this publishing process in Vault and show you the different publish options. The PDF format of a 2D design file is used in many firms to facilitate communications among engineering, purchasing, manufacturing, and other departments. We'll also teach you how to let users outside your engineering department access the PDFs for printing and other workflows. This session will feature Vault Professional data management software and Vault Workgroup, including the use of the Vault Job Processor.

If looking to improve the general health of your Vault SQL Server implementation, improve performance, or automate backups, this course is for you. It’s geared towards Vault administrators looking to improve maintenance in their SQL Server environments using SQL Server Maintenance Plans. As maintenance plans are not something that is installed or implemented with out of the box solutions from Autodesk or Microsoft, we will provide a suggested solution for use with SQL Server. We will cover the basics of implementing a SQL Server maintenance plan to keep Autodesk Vault SQL Server Databases running at their most optimum levels, hourly, daily, weekly, monthly and beyond. Users will have a base maintenance plan to get started and will walk away with the knowledge to modify that plan to suit their own unique environments. This session features Vault Professional, Vault Basic, and Vault Workgroup.

Vault software products specifically support Inventor software’s iPart/iAssembly factory and member file management. This class will have practical examples that will illustrate and unveil the secrets from basic file management tasks up to advanced workflows like partial revision of families. Experienced Inventor software users and product data management administrators will learn recommended setup and configurations to capitalize on the full capabilities and benefits managing and consuming component families. The class will discuss file structures, setup of family tables, and the implementation of file and item numbering schemes for family members. Follow considerations and implementation scenarios to drive CAD and item bill of materials. Another important aspect is to manage component families over larger periods of time. Get introduced to revision management and all file management tasks like rename, move, and copy. We will also cover Inventor file migration for vaulted families. This session features Vault Professional, Inventor Professional, and Vault Workgroup. AIA Approved

This wildly successful franchise is back for a third time at Autodesk University. Meet and have an open discussion with a panel of data management avengers from Autodesk, Inc.

What does it take to strategize and implement an efficient CAD and Vault software environment? Standards, communications, and consistency: the 3 keys to an efficient CAD and Vault software environment. This lecture is about how to build, implement, and run a highly technical CAD arena to produce and sustain small to large CAD designs. This discussion pertains to Vault software startups; small, medium-size, or large companies; and those that have been using Vault software for some time. This session features Vault Professional, Vault Office, and Vault Workgroup.

The First Order has risen and will stop at nothing to get to your data. Vault software security can be complex and confusing if you do not understand how it works. This class is essential for administrators who want to learn the different security models within Vault software. The main focus of the class will be object- and lifecycle-level security. Learn how object-level security sets or denies access to objects for users or groups. Learn how lifecycle-level security sets or denies access to objects based on the state of the object. Finally, learn how object- and lifecycle-state security are combined to work together to control object access, which is new in Vault 2017 software. Leave with the knowledge needed to awaken your security needs and restore peace and justice to your Vault software. Defend against the First Order. This session features Vault Professional, Vault Office, and Vault Workgroup.

In this class, we'll do a walk-through of the different Vault Professional data management software replication possibilities and understand how they work. We'll explore different options and configurations, and find the most appropriate ones for your needs. Discover the advantages of this powerful Vault Professional feature, and learn how to configure it and its environment for optimal performance.

The ideal lifecycle is possible. Everyone can manage change the way they want—and, in fact, they do. Because, the way you manage files now, regardless of whether you like it or not, is what you choose to do. To move past the basics of file management into the area of drawing revisions, approvals, security, and advanced property management, you need to deal with lifecycles. In this class, we’ll look at Vault lifecycles and help you decide which is the best course of action. This class will introduce you to the powerful tools that are available in Vault Workgroup and Vault Professional for revision management, approval workflows, and engineering change orders (ECOs). Learn how categories are used to control the flow of your data and how versions and revisions are intertwined. We’ll also cover how to apply different revision schemes and how to initiate and track change via a change order.
