This is the third time I've encountered someone mentioning this program! 🙂
The thing is , the network I am working in has a lot of restrictions, I tried to download this software but it won't let me.
Just out of curiosity for Thunderstorm
1. Does it cost $?
2. Do all of my coworkers have to install Thunderstorm in order to be able to access My Shortcuts?
3. How exactly would thunderstorm allow me to share My shortcuts?
Thank you!,
Any help is appreciated,
Best,
Ale
The actual path to the searches will be similar to this:
%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\VaultCommon\Servers\Services_Security_11_15_2011\<server_name>\Vaults\<vault_name>\Searches
The Services_Security_xx_xx_xxxx folder will vary with each model year of the vault software, so you will need to determine the right one. The one above is for 2014. The variable %userprofile% is specific to the user logged into the system, so if you gather your searches into a shared folder on a server, you can create a batch file that will copy those search files to the path above for that particular user on that particular workstation.
Thanks,

It seems like I might be able to install this from the link you gave me.
But do all my coworkers need to install it as well?
I am not surehow to carry out the procedure you mentioned. I'm fairly new to vault. How would I gather my searches into a shared folder on a server?
Thank you ,
Ale
Thunderdome is a free download. All users need to have the program loaded on their PC. When you make changes to shortcuts, or saved searches, screen configurations etc... you create a deployment. Next time the users log in it updates their Vault CLient to your saved deployment. You choose what you want to deploy, so it doesn't have to be everything.
I've used it since last summer and it works great.

If you check this path on your workstation, you should see the files that store the searches you have saved. I would copy these files to a folder on a server, and create a batch file that copies these search files from that folder on the server to the folder listed in the previous post. The user must run the batch file and must have the permissions to copy these files to their workstation.

vault_name, server_name, those will change as well I'm assuming? How would I determine the Services_Security_xx_xx_xxxx folder ?
Thank you,
Ale
Yes and yes. The server name is specific, as is the vault name. The Services_Security folder is specific to the model year of vault. For example, Vault 2014 uses 'Services_Security_11_15_2011', Vault 2013 uses 'Services_Security_6_29_2011', while Vault 2015 uses 'Services_Security_1_28_2013'. These I acquired over time using the product.

As an alternative to Thunderdome (which I have tried to use b ut failed) I use this which is also free and is very easy to deploy http://apps.exchange.autodesk.com/VLTC/en/Detail/Index?id=appstore.exchange.autodesk.com%3aotsyncvau...
