Data Vaults store content that can be shared across presentations and kept in sync from a single source. This guide shows you how to attach an existing Data Vault to a presentation in PADS4 Designer.
Data Vaults are created and maintained in PADS4 System Management. To create or configure a Data Vault, refer to the PADS4 System Management manual.
