The vault "bridge" connects the pVault® system to a single ComputerEase data folder. The bridge provides all of the data look-ups and exporting features needed to run the pVault® system. A vault can only be bridged to one data folder. To bridge multiple data folders to pVault®, additional vault license codes must be purchased.
