Choosing a Default Vault for Searching

You can choose the vault or vaults that are selected by default when you perform a search. For example, if you typically search in only the vault assigned to your person profile, you can choose that vault as your default vault for searching. Then when you execute searches, you only need to change the vault in those few cases where you want to search in a vault that is different from your default vault.

Searches in some applications don't use the default vault preference. For example, choosing a default vault for searching has no impact on searches performed in Sourcing Central or Team Central.

To choose the vault for searching

1. Click Tools>Preferences from the global toolbar.
2. From the General category of the Preferences page, click Default Vault.
3. Choose the vault or vaults that you want chosen by default when you perform a search:

User Default Vault--This is the vault specified in your person profile.

Local Vaults--All local vaults that you have access to.

Selected Vaults--Specific vaults assigned to your company. To specify vaults, click the Browse (...) button.

All Vaults--All vaults for your company

4. Click Apply to save your selection and leave the Preferences popup open, or click Done to apply your selection and close the Preferences popup.
5. Click Apply or Done to save your selection. Clicking Apply leaves the Preferences popup open so you can set other preferences. Clicking Done closes it.
