Hi,

00:07

in this video we will learn about Vault categories.

00:11

What is a category?

00:13

Categories are labels that provide a way to group objects logically.

00:19

Grouping by a category also provides a means for assigning

00:22

a defined set of behaviors and rules to objects.

00:26

To access categories involved,

00:28

log in as an administrator to Autodesk Vault client,

00:33

navigate to

00:34

Tools,

00:36

Administration,

00:38

Vault Settings.

00:40

Access on Behaviors tab by clicking on the categories button.

00:46

In the configure categories dialog,

00:49

you can view categories or category types.

00:52

Category types are classified as

00:55

custom object categories,

00:58

file categories,

00:59

folder categories,

01:01

item categories.

01:02

Categories are configured and managed by Vault administrator.

01:08

A category can automatically assign

01:11

user defined properties

01:13

to objects in the vault.

01:17

Categories can also be used to automatically assign

01:21

life cycle definitions,

01:25

or

01:26

revision values to files.
