In Meridian, you store and manage engineering documents within a vault. A vault is a combination of a database and a document store. You need to open a vault to access, upload, review, or modify documents in PowerWeb.
Your company can use one or multiple vaults to store documents related to the organization, divisions, departments, workgroups, or specific purposes. The system administrator is responsible for creating and configuring the vaults.
Your system administrator must provide you with the address to access Meridian PowerWeb. The format is http://<server name>/Meridian/start. The administrator might have created a desktop shortcut for you or saved the address in your browser’s favorites.

Enter the address of the PowerWeb website and press Enter.

You might need to sign in.
-
In the vault selection page, select a vault to open it.
The first time you sign in, you need to select a default scope for the vault.
-
Select the scope that you want to use.
The vault opens and the folders and documents appear.
Select Remember location in vault between sessions in your personal preferences to quickly return to your work when reopening the vault. This option reopens the vault to the last document you viewed before leaving PowerWeb.
If you do not find the document you are looking for, contact your system administrator. The administrator might need to adjust your permissions in the document folder, or the document is stored in a different vault.
