Best Practice for renaming and moving objects

[westcoast_Jeff]

Hello,

Our group of designers are having lots of difficulties when one of use moves a file in vault.  It is difficult to keep track of what is the legitimate vault version.  When files are moved in vault, It does not appear to move on everyone's local workspace.  What is the best practice in a workgroup setting when some files in a large assembly need to be moved in vault when multiple folders are used?

Similarly, what is the best practice when some files need to be renamed?

Best,

Jeff

If a file, a group of files and/or folders are moved in vault, it does not update any local workspace.

My first question (as a Vault Administrator) is..  When files are moved in your vault, it is being communicated to the group?  Secondly, how often are files being moved?   If you are constantly moving them around then I would sit down as a group and determine where (common) files should be placed in the vault folders and stick to it.

I would also recommend that each user's gets in a routine of cleaning out his/her local work folder space as long as their files are checked in.  Vault is your master location and keeping local copies should only exist when you are working on a given project.
