merge properties? (map 2 or more into one?)

Is it possible to read values from 2 or more different properties and map it into one in Vault Professional?

The problem scenario is to create a Document ID, which should be build up by several different codes previously defined in other properties.

Maybe this is possible in Vault Data Standard Extension?

from what i know it's not possibile via the regular Vault configuration options, however, it would be possibile to write an add-in which intercepts the change event and do some operations there. 

 

Via Data Standard it's definitively possibile to edit a file in the DS dialog and compute several fields together and save it back. However, the user would have to edit the file properties via Data Standard. So, if you create a file in Inventor and save it in Vault, then you would have to edit that file via Data Standard in order to perform the merge. Alternatively, you use the Data Standard dialog wichin Inventor and AutoCAD and configure that one to do the merge. The resulting value would be saved into an iProperty that you can mapp to a Vault property.

 

last option could be to create a custom menu item within Vault which computes the merge and writes the value back to your property. Also this could be done with Data Standard menu files.

 

i hope this helps!

Thanks! I will try it out!

 

Its good to know its possible in Vault Data Standard. I should then be able to apply it on non-Inventor files also.
