How do you set up a custom content center?

[Anonymous]

I've never set up a custom content center before and I've done some research on the forums but I could really find the information I was looking for.  My goal is to change the stock number and description to our company standard.  Right now I edit it with the bom editor which is a bit time consuming.  Another goal i would like would be that the part number is always the file name. How would I go about setting this up?  Does anyone have a good whitepaper on it?

Thanks

This one is one I wrote back in 2010 release year.  Should help you understand it better.

Thanks for the white paper, so far it's been extremely helpful.

I do have a question as I am reading over it.  In the "Editing the Content Center" section you have this line

• If the Content Center is hosted by a shared system ask the Content Center Administrator to create this library.

How do I do this?  I am currently using a set-up with the Vault and the content center saves to a file on the server.  I have administrator priviledges in Vault but how do I add a library to the Content Center?

I've attached a picture of how everything looks now.  You can see that there is a folder set to read write called Custom Overrides.  That was created by someone who isn't here anymore.  I'd just like to create a new library like that and edit from there.

Thanks again

You have to go into the ADMS Console and add the library there.  This is not done in Vault Explorer or Inventor.

Is it possible that I do not have the ADMS console or does it come with the installation automatically?  I can't find where it would be and even went to my program files folder looking for Autodesk Data Management Console but didn't find anything.

It would be on the actual server that hosts the Vault.  Sometimes it is also called the Autodesk Data Management Sever (ADMS)
