Dynamic Tree Views based on filtered and grouped property values

Dynamic Tree Views based on filtered and grouped property values

Currently, it is not possible in Vault to create "Dynamic Tree Views" that display a virtual tree based on filtered and grouped values of properties, either in the full or Thin client. However, this functionality is available in some other PDM systems.

 

Business case:

This is especially useful when working with people with different "experience levels".

The electricians only need to see electrical plans arranged in a virtual tree that makes sense to them, e.g., building, room, cabinet. The mechanical engineers only want to see their mechanical plans, arranged by machine number.

Note: Most of these people who only need to search for plans use the Thin Client in the workshop.

 

We have already analyzed some workarounds:

-Search in all properties is one way to find your plan, but there can be too many results, people don't always know what to look for, ... a visual tree that leads them to the result is much better.

-Creating a search folder that contains all files and a custom view with grouping is partially a solution in the full client...but unfortunately this functionality is currently not available in the Thin client.
