Vault overview

A vault is your workspace in Valise. It holds all of your artworks, contacts, locations, collections, and related data. Everything you do in Valise happens inside a vault.

When you sign up, Valise creates a vault for you automatically. Most people only ever need one, but you can create additional vaults if you want to keep entirely separate inventories — for example, to manage a foundation’s collection independently from your own studio practice.

Settings

Vault settings are spread across a few pages, accessible from the Settings menu. Only vault owners can make changes.

General

Settings → General covers the core configuration for your vault:

• Title: the name displayed throughout Valise, usually your name as an artist or the name of your studio.
• Currency: the default currency for pricing information (retail prices, sale prices, expenses). Changing it won’t affect values you’ve already entered.
• Default artist: when enabled, Valise automatically adds you as the artist on every new artwork. Useful to turn off if you’re primarily tracking works by others.

Members

Settings → Members lets you invite others — like a studio assistant or gallery representative — to help manage your vault. Each person is assigned a role (Owner, Editor, or Viewer) that controls what they can do.

Billing

Settings → Billing shows your current usage and lets you upgrade your plan or manage your subscription. Each vault has its own plan.
