Enterprise PDM
Enterprise PDM
(OP)
We are in process of implementing EPDM, I have a few questions...
1. Put all files in the vault, even if they don't require revision control, so all job files are all in one place? Is this a good idea, or just vault what needs to be revision controled?
2. Folder structure; our current suggestions have sub-folders 6 deep, is that okay or is it better for vault performance to limit the depth of the sub-folders?
3. How do you do templates for models and drawings?
Models, do you have templates for decimail and fraction?
Drawings,our VAR has suggested to minimize our templates
by only using (1) or (2) sheet sizes (e.g. B & D)

RE: Enterprise PDM
What files do not require revistion control?
Do you really have to limit your folder depths?
What templates to you need? Perhaps you can write something in visual basic to configure your files. I did set up our templates with A, C and D only, and my co-workers demaned I add C and E. The fewer templates you have, the easier it will be to update them.
RE: Enterprise PDM
They want to put packing slips, vendor correspondences, etc. into the vault, not sure is all this needs to be in the vault?
Folders-
I was always told that the more complex you made your folder structure the more it slowed down the performance of the vault...?
