Summary

Access
To open the Vault Library dialog, follow these steps:

- Ensure the Installed tab of the dialog is the active tab.
- Click the Install button and select Install from Vault
Options/Controls
Folder Settings Tab
First, choose the source Altium Vault, from where to source the vault components. Click on the current vault name at the top-left of the dialog to access a drop-down listing of all connected vaults.
Define a name for the 'vault library' - this is a name that you are giving to a specific set of vault folders, so make it meaningful to you. Enter the name into the Library name field at the top of the dialog. This name only exists in the Libraries panel, you are not modifying the vault contents in any way.
Define the path to each vault folder you want included in this 'library' - click the Add button to browse the folders of the nominated source vault, and add the folder you want included in your 'library'. Multiple folders can be added, and if you select a parent folder, the components in all child sub-folders will be included too.
Parameter Settings Tab
The parameters, taken from all components in the folder, will appear listed in the region. Use the Visible On Add checkbox associated with each parameter to control its visibility, when a component that has that parameter is placed on a schematic sheet.
Once you have defined a name and added the required folders, click OK to return to the Available Libraries dialog. The entry for the named 'library' will be added to the list of installed libraries. Note that the Path region of the dialog includes a line for each folder you included in your 'vault library.'
