Vault Client Performance There are a number of factors that can be tuned to get the optimal performance from the data management clients. Review this section and tune your configuration accordingly to get the most from your data management solution. Client Settings Certain settings within the client application can affect performance not only in the client, but in the Vault add-ins as well. Customize View command ■ This is a commonly used setting in the Productstream and Vault Explorer client programs. It is used to add additional information to display grids. Usually, this does not have much additional impact on performance. However, some display fields, such as the thumbnail property, may take a longer to display. Enabling these settings only on an 'as needed' basis can help to improve day-to-day performance. Memory Add-ins for design applications consume additional memory. The amount of memory they consume is typically small. But, in certain circumstances, it makes sense to review the memory usage on the client. The most common problems occur when the original client CAD model uses most the available memory of a computer before introducing a vault into the workflow. Please refer to the Server Memory section for additional instructions on how to review the memory usage on your systems. Disk Performance Like the server, client computers can suffer from disk fragmentation as well. The concept of analyzing disk fragmentation is the same for both clients and servers.

Vault Client Performance
There are a number of factors that can be tuned to get the optimal performance
from the data management clients. Review this section and tune your
configuration accordingly to get the most from your data management
solution.
Client Settings
Certain settings within the client application can affect performance not only
in the client, but in the Vault add-ins as well.
Customize View command
This is a commonly used setting in the Productstream and Vault Explorer
client programs. It is used to add additional information to display grids.
Usually, this does not have much additional impact on performance.
However, some display fields, such as the thumbnail property, may take
a longer to display. Enabling these settings only on an 'as needed' basis
can help to improve day-to-day performance.
Memory
Add-ins for design applications consume additional memory. The amount of
memory they consume is typically small. But, in certain circumstances, it
makes sense to review the memory usage on the client. The most common
problems occur when the original client CAD model uses most the available
memory of a computer before introducing a vault into the workflow. Please
refer to the Server Memory section for additional instructions on how to review
the memory usage on your systems.
Disk Performance
Like the server, client computers can suffer from disk fragmentation as well.
The concept of analyzing disk fragmentation is the same for both clients and
servers.
