Workgroup PDM- How to put Vault on network drive? 1

[ckb614]

My company wants to start using Workgroup PDM. We have a network hard drive in the office that all of the computers are connected to and we'd like to put the Vault there. So far I have only been able to get a vault up and running on a local machine. how can i relocate the vault to the external drive?

Take your disc and install onto the server, then setup. Each computer will need to connect to the PDMW server license.

Contact your VAR, they can help with details to setup.

We don't have a server. Just a shared external hard drive that gets backed up by carbonite. Our storage drive does not have a screen/cd drive/keyboard etc

Simply move the folder VaultData the external drive
Then change the vault location to point to the External drive
I have used a setup like this so I know it's possible, but I did only have 1 Laptop connected to the external drive
Hope this helps

Workgroup PDM is one of the easy PDM's to install and use, IMO. It's about the only one I know of where you can just copy a folder tree around and still use it with only a couple of setting changes.
