EDMSInterface_Dlg-ConnectToEnterpriseFormConnecting To Altium Vault_AD

The Connecting to Altium Vault dialog is used to connect and sign into your Altium Vault.

Summary

The Connect To Vault dialog allows the designer to connect to and sign into an Altium Vault. An Altium Vault can be used to store everything related to designing in the software, including: design source data, such as components, schematics and PCB files; design release data, such as Gerber and ODB++ data; and also installations and updates of the software itself. You can only sign into a Vault that has already been installed, and appropriate user credentials have been defined.

Access

This dialog can be accessed by selecting the DXP » Sign in Altium Vault command.

Options/Controls

• Server Address - Use this field to enter the location URL of the vault to connect to. The format for this is: <ComputerName>:<PortNumber>. Referring to the image above, this would be Fractal_i7:9780, for connection to an Altium Vault Server installed on a PC with the machine name Fractal_i7, using the default port assignment 9780.
• User Name - enter a existing, valid user name for an Altium Vault.
• Password - enter the password needed to validate the User Name entered above.
• Remember the credentials - save the credentials for the dialog and load them automatically the next time the dialog is opened.
• Sign me in when I start Altium Designer - automatically sign into Altium Vault when Altium Designer is opened.

Tips
