# Request a Meta Vault
> Configure a Meta Vault from the yield.xyz dashboard, submit the request, and track it through to a live yield ID.
Request and manage [Meta Vaults](/documentation/platform/vaults/meta-vaults/index) (multi-strategy [OAVs](/documentation/platform/vaults/index)) from the **Allocator Vaults** table on your project page in the [yield.xyz dashboard](https://dashboard.yield.xyz). You choose the strategies, weights, and fees; yield.xyz deploys the vault on-chain and enables it as a yield ID for your project. This section only appears for teams with OAVs enabled; contact yield.xyz if you don't see it.
## Configure a Meta Vault
On your project page, go to **Allocator Vaults** and click **Create OAV** (or **Create your first OAV** if none exist yet).
Choose a **Network** and a deposit **Token** from the tokens available to your project. This selection scopes which yields you can add as strategies in the next step.
Search **Find Yield** and check up to 5 yields to include as strategies. Each time you add or remove a yield, the dashboard redistributes weights equally across the selected yields.
To set custom weights, turn off **Optimization mode** and edit the weight field next to each yield; the total must equal 100% before you can continue. With **Optimization mode** on, weight inputs are hidden and the optimization engine rebalances the vault toward the highest APY instead.
Click **Next**.
Set the **OAV name**, then enter the fee inputs the form supports: **Management Fee (in BPS)**, **Performance Fee (in BPS)**, and **Deposit Fee (in BPS)**, each from 1 to 5,000 bps. Click **Create** to submit the request.
The dashboard form accepts up to 5,000 bps per fee, but the on-chain vault contract bounds what can actually be applied, and performance fees above 2,000 bps (20%) are never charged. Agree your target fee levels with yield.xyz before submitting; see [Monetization](/documentation/earn/monetization).
## What happens after you submit
Submitting the form creates a request with status **REQUESTED**, holding your selected strategies, weights, optimization mode, fee inputs, network, and deposit token.
This part is yield.xyz-assisted, not self-service: yield.xyz deploys the on-chain vault, sets its roles, and enables it as a yield ID scoped to your project. Once deployed, the request's status becomes **LIVE**.
## Monitor status
Track a vault's status, optimization mode, fees, and aggregate APY directly in the **Allocator Vaults** table:
| Column | Shows |
| - | - |
| Name | The OAV name you set |
| Integration ID | The yield ID once the vault is live |
| Status | `REQUESTED`, `LIVE`, or `CHANGES REQUESTED` |
| Optimization | `Auto` (optimization mode on) or `Manual` |
| Fees | Performance, management, and deposit fees, each shown as a percentage |
| APY | The vault's aggregate APY across its strategies |
Once a vault is `LIVE`, its yield ID appears in `GET /v1/yields` for your project like any other enabled yield; see [Discover yields](/guides/earn/discover-yields).
## Edit an existing Meta Vault
Open the row's action menu and select **Edit OAV** to change, subject to yield.xyz review:
* The strategy list (add or remove yields, up to 5)
* Target weights (editable when optimization mode is off)
* The optimization mode toggle
* Fees (management, performance, deposit)
* Whether the vault is active
Submitting changes sets the request back to a pending state for yield.xyz to apply; the table's **Status** column reflects the current state.
