Make All Settings Persist During Upgrades

Make All Settings Persist During Upgrades

Some Administration settings are lost during a Vault upgrade.  From the most recent upgrade (2012-2013), I remember at least Working Folder and Project File settings were empty when starting the new version.  There might be more.

 

Also, most or all of the User-specific client options get reset to defaults in both Vault Explorer and the CAD addins.  The ones that are most tedious to restore include grid columns and shortcuts in VE, and prompt settings in CAD addins.

 

If we're going to have to do a product upgrade every year just to keep current, please make it less painful.

Please, please, please, add this. We just went thru upgrading our 28-seats of Vault Pro and it all went smootly except for this as this is what caused the "down" time for the users tyring to remember and setup their Vault to their liking. We need some kind of user profile capturing that either gets included during updates or we have some type of mechanism to import. 

 

This functionallity would also be nice when users get new computers.

It would be nice to be able to customize view for all fields in the User Profile for viewing in the User Management window. Current view shows User Name, First Name, Last Name, Enabled. I'd like to see Email, Roles, Vaults and Groups.

It would be great if Vault could do this - keep Saved Searches, Shortcuts, View/Grid settings, etc.
