We are excited to introduce Vault Types. For any Admin users managing Vaults, you will notice a few changes in your User and Client Lists, including two new columns: TAG and VAULT NAME. The TAG column identifies the type of Vault: Individual, Household, or Organization. The VAULT NAME column displays the name of the Household or Organization, separating the name of the Vault from the primary contact associated with the Vault to streamline organization and naming.

Currently, all existing Vaults will be tagged and set as Individuals. However, you can easily update and convert the type of Vault to a Household or Organization at any time. 

Additionally, more enhancements including filters and search functionality on Vault Types will be coming soon. 

What are the Different Vault Types and How Do They Work?

As an administrative user in FutureVault, you now have access to different types of Vaults as a way to help you better organize your Vaults/Clients within the platform. When manually creating a Vault, Admin Users have three options available:

1. Individual Vault: A Vault dedicated to managing information and documents for a specific individual.

2. Household Vault: A Vault dedicated to managing and organizing documents within a household for two or more people as a way to keep family information and data secure and in one place. Please note that the Vault Name will be used on the email invitation to external Trusted Collaborators. You will also need to assign and designate a Primary Contact for this Vault.

3. Organization Vault: If your client is a business or an organization, you can improve the way the organization's information is stored, exchanged, and managed. Similar to Household Vaults, a Primary Contact for the Vault will need to be defined along with selecting the type of Entity for the Default Entity.
