How do you manage different PDM vault locations for custom properties lists?

I have built a custom properties tab template that includes several lists. These lists are now stored inside our PDM Standard vault. However, different users have installed the vault in different file paths. What is the best way to manage this?

Ideally referencing a system value (path or registry entry) in the custom properties xml file would be the ideal as it would cover any option.

Another alternative would be some sort of try-catch scenario in the xml file.

part.prtprp



   
     
       

         Try
           

         Catch

           
     
 

Is anything like either of these options possible?

Is there another way of doing it?

Thanks,

Matt
