11 In the Group Management dialog box, click New Group again, and repeat
Steps 3 through 10 to create a group named Technicians. This group has
the role of Vault Consumer and access to the same Vault database. Add
user kgreen to the Technicians group.
You will not see the advantages of creating user groups in this tutorial,
but the structure you have just created is recommended for project teams.
Groups can have different roles in relation to a particular database, and
you can change the roles of users by moving them into the appropriate
group.
12 Click Close to close the Global Settings dialog box and then close
Autodesk Vault.
To continue this tutorial, go to Exercise 3: Creating a Project (page 199).
Exercise 3: Creating a Project
This exercise demonstrates how to log in to the project management system
and create a project.
A project is a collection in the Prospector tree that represents objects in a
database (vault). Each project is essentially a folder that contains drawings,
databases of points, and reference objects, such as surfaces, alignments, and
pipe networks. A project folder can also contain other documents relevant to
an engineering project.
A database user with the Vault Editor role can create projects.
For more information, see the AutoCAD Civil 3D Help topic Working with
Vault Projects.
The following procedure assumes that you are already logged in to the database
as described in
Exercise 1: Logging In to Autodesk Vault (page 195).
Create a project
1 In Toolspace, on the Prospector tab, right-click the Projects collection,
then click New.
2 In the New Project dialog box, for Name, enter Tutorial Vault Project.
Optionally, add a short Description.
3 Select the Use Project Template check box.
