The navigation pane on the left lets you
browse vaults and folders for all Windows Explorer views.
The Enterprise PDM vault icon 
identifies the vaults to which you have access.
The icon appears in both the Favorites list at the top of the navigation pane, and in the folder list at the bottom of the pane, in the location where you created the vault.
The first time you click a vault during your session, you may be
prompted to log in.
When you expand a vault, the navigation pane displays the folders 
it contains. You can right-click a folder to view its properties or perform folder operations. The files in the folder appear in the right pane.
The color of folders in Windows Explorer indicates their status in Enterprise PDM:
| Green |
The folder is in a vault and you have access to the vault database. |
| Blue |
The folder is in a vault but you are off-line. Select and log in.
|
| Gray |
The folder is local to your hard drive and does not exist in the vault database. Right-click and select Add to File Vault if you have permission to add files to the vault. |
| Yellow |
The folder is not in your local view of the vault, and does not
exist in the vault database.
