      <Paragraph>The mount area is the work area that must be loaded/mounted on
		the client computer of the user who must access or save the files in that work
		area. The work area is located on a remote host. When a mounted area is used,
		the files are registered and saved in the work area specified in the definition
		of the mount area. The path you see on the local host can be viewed when a
		mount area is defined. The path is specifically used for network installations
		without a vault server component, for example, if the file server is mainframe
		or Macintosh, on the remote system where the work area is defined. The work
		area directory must be shared to use the directory to register the
		files.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>If the work area folder is not shared, you can use the mount
		area by installing the vault server component on the remote system and, in this
		case, the vault server must be running on the remote host to register the
		files. The <GUIRef href="" role="manual">ERP administrator</GUIRef> must define the path to each
		mount area from each client, in other words, the local host on which the mount
		area is mounted. The network administrator sets up access to these mount
		areas.</Paragraph>
