If you want to create them using Vstudio, and you are in the Schema Browser
view, select "localhost" in the leftmost window and then from the File menu
option, New Database...and select your Vserver connection.  After that, you
can create tables and fields on the new Vserver db just as if it was a local
db.

Databases created in such a way are automatically recognized by Vserver.

You can also create databases in local mode, drag them to your Vserver
Databases folder (specified in your .ini file) and then register them using
the Server Admin option under the Vstudio Server menu.

Yes, speaking as a customer, I can testify that Valentina products evolve
much faster than the docs can keep up.  However, I have volunteered to help
with the docs and never (yet) kept that promise, so I am as much to blame as
anybody at Paradigma.

This morning, while experimenting, I got a Vstudio crash while trying to
re-connect after disconnecting. (X.4.7, DP G4)  But I re-launched Studio and
it seemed fine.
