Configuring ZFlow for File Management

ZFlow supports managing files as part of workflows and for master data objects (think of drawings of a part). These files are stored in Vaults, which need to be configured as part of the initial configuration.

You can create a directory (for example, zflowvault) and configure it for the Vault.

In Linux systems, the directory to be used for the vault is mounted (NFS).

Create/Edit Vault Configuration in ZFlow

To create the vault configuration on ZFlow, go to the search tab and double-click on vault as shown below.

 

 

Double click on the search icon as shown below

 

This will show the list of vault configurations already present by default, like DefaultVault. We will use the same one to configure our vault system. Follow the instructions below and use the edit function on DefaultVault.

 

 

Once you have the settings window open for DefaultVault, copy and paste the file path for the zvault folder we created into the Directory path tab and save the configuration. You can hit refresh, and your file system will now be enabled.
