Vault Pro UI Enhancement

wesbird — Sat, 29 Nov 2014 15:57:19 GMT

Hi,

I just close to finish my first Vault Explorer AddIn development. I like to add more UI changes as well

1. In Main View, when display File or Change Order, Can I change each row to different color according to value from a column. e.g. I like to change the row to red if the create date is more than 10 days ago, yellow if 5 days ago, ...

if yes, can I define it according to login user's role. e.g. Admin in style A, Change Order Admin in Style B, ...

2. Can I change the backgroup color of Navigation Pane (or Main View), or add a image per vault. e.g. if I login vault A use image A, vault B use image B, ...

if not possible, can I change the title of Vault explorer? anything to seperated vault visually.

3. Can Hide property pane, Change Order List per user. e.g. User A can see property pane, User B cannot.

Thanks you

Wes

Hi Wes,

What you are asking for is currently unsupported. The only customization to Vault Explorer using the Vault API is done implementing the IExplorerExtension. You can see this in the Vault SDK HelloWorld example. (it adds a commandSite and a DetailTab)

You could request what you need on the Vault Idea Station:

Maybe setting permissions for different users could help. See this topic::

The Vault API has support for user permissions. These posts could be of interest:
