In past releases of EPDM there were times when we would add files to the EPDM vault and the files would be greyed out because they were a "local file" and all you had to do was right click and add to the vault, now in 2016 it seems like this function is gone?
As long as you are Working Online you should still have the option to Add File To Vault in 2016.
If you are Working Offline or if you are having connection issues with the PDM server the you will not see the option.
Andrew, not sure what the difference is but here is a screenshot that shows what I see
I assume you've checked permissions for User, State, & Folder. I would double-check, myself. Did 2016 add a permission tied to that particular command, instead of just the "Create New Files"? It seems to me that we had to revisit permissions b/c of the capability to move files from one folder to another where delete permissions were restricted.
Do you have duplicate filenames restricted in your vault? If so, and there's already a file by that name, that could do it.
Also make sure it's still in your menu's under user settings:
Michael, I'm noticing from your screen shot that some other items that would normally be showing in the right click menu, like delete and rename, are also missing.
I think it's most likely that Charley is right, the "Add To File Vault" command, and those other ones, have been removed by the Administrator.
Yes the options in the file right click have been changed in the latest install, I was able to log in under my admin in EPDM and add the feature back. Thank you for all the help
