Due Date: When the Due Date hits, it would be good to have an alert (email if needed), color change, text message, or??? The due date is only editable in the Create and Open States. It would be good for the Change Admin to alter that on an administrative side. Realistically the due date is a bogus piece of information. I have run a matrix on due dates and work completing on time and it does not play into reality. Due Date Alerts

When you hover over a column header you can create a filter. However the custom filter does not have the same choices that are available when editing the filter. I would like to see the same options in both, as you only get more afterwards, creating a 2 step process. Please see image:

Hello Folks, While doing a copy design, the Vault currectly has a bug that does not allow me to enable the long character enabling for windows 10. Even though the windows 10 have he feature, it is not compatable with Vault / Autodesk Inventor, So it fails with the warning. I have taken this to the Help desk and they said they were not able to solve this and requested me to post this issue on the Vault Ideastation. I hope soon you guys will find a solution for this. Thanks Mahendra Nathan

We have customers ( and happened to us also if file move prompt is not enabled ) that are moving files by error when grabbing them by accident ( fast mouse moves trough Vault explorer with mouse key pressed ) and moving them to a random folder. All is working, but it is a pain to find the file that was moved. So an optional comment on move command to files that were moved would also be potentialy usable for desired file movements also I guess.

When property editing items, you cannot paste a value to editable items, if there is a write protected item in the selection. The warning is OK, but the pasted value should apply to all editable items!

To have more details like E-mail ID, Group, Vault, etcetera, in the User management would be a lot easier. Regards, RGS Gorle

Please can we have an vault api call group[] GetGroupsByID(long userId ) c# Returns an array of all groups the user is a member of including related groups. Runs as a user read role, for their own userID only. Desired to allow extensions to use group functionality. Currently my workaround is to have a list of all groups I am looking to check if a user is in, and then call GetGroupsByName for each group, and see if an error 303 is returned indicating the user is not a member of that group. Very costly in terms of number of web service hits, and having to maintain a list of groups elsewhere GetGroupsByNames returns error 303 if user is not a member of all the groups so does not help. We could use LDAP groups and query LDAP for this, but not supported by all IT teams we work with.

When checking in dwg files and creating visualisation files, there is an option to include different tabs. However, I do not want to change this setting depending on what kind of file I am checking in. If checking in models, I just want to visualise the model tab, and if checking in drawing definition files, I just want to visualise the layout tabs (or even just the current layout tab). Please add options for 1) "According to Tilemode" (Model Tab Only or Layout Tabs Only) and 2) "Current Tab Only".

Good day All. It would be a good advantage to have an extra ECO state called "On Hold" This state would allow an ECO to be put on hold for any reason i.e. indefinately awaiting feedback from a 3rd party. Once the information is received the "On Hold" state can be removed. This "On Hold" state would also allow for a new ECO to be created for the related Item. This would allow for multiple ECOs to be raised for an Item as long as all but one are on hold. Currently an ECO would have to be cancelled and then a new one created from scratch once the required information is received. I'm making this suggestions after a customer noted that they have a minor ECO open for an Item but need to open a second more major ECO for the same Item. However they cannot have 2 ECOs on the same Item.

Of I map my Outlook Folder "Inbox/Test" to "$/Test" in Vault and make a new subfolder in Outlook for example "Inbox/Test/Subfolder" and store some Mails in Subfolder the mail won't be Checked into Vault. It would be very helpful if mails that droped to subfolders also checked into vault.

I'd like to see the column headers sticky (frozen in Excel speak) and the same with the LH column so that they can been seen when scrolling up/down or left/right on a large dataset.

Drop-down lists to select users for routing roles. The administrator could define these lists.

We have several item properties which are a list of values with 'Enforce List Values' set, 'Requires Value' not set, & 'Initial Value' blank. When creating new items from Vault Explorer files using the ‘assign files to an item’ method, these list fields become non-compliant. We have used these property rules for a long time over earlier Vault versions... without issues. This problem appeared after change 2014 to 2017. It worked fine when file/item association could only be created from Vault Explorer. The issue seems to be related to the method used to associate the file to the item. If the item is created first in isolation, then link the file, no problem (other than items have to be created individually). When the item is created from the Inventor file, the property non-compliance issue appears in the item... however, if the item is then edited & file association link removed (save & close), then edit the item again & add the link to same file (from within the item), the original property non-compliance then disappears. Interestingly, if the item property fields are populated by mapping from file properties, there are no resultant property compliance issues. But, this workflow does not suit us as many of our items do not have associated files (for us, item properties must be assigned within the item then mapped to the file). A possible work-around is to set the initial value with an apostrophe (') instead of a blank value. The apostrophe as a value in the item property field removes the non-compliance error. When the ' is mapped to the file (iam, ipt) it does not show on the drawing (appears as a blank field, as desired). This works but we have reservations in implementing this work-around due to our database resulting in items with mixed property values. This glitch causes much pain. We are a 20 licence user with thousands of items & have now lost our ability to efficiently create bulk items based on the files BOM hierarchy.

A administrator should be able to select a file for deletion and then see all the versions so far created and choose where to roll back to. Sometimes files are accidentally revised and need to be rolled back. Sometimes a change order gets started and then gets cancelled. Sometimes a concept is explored and then rejected. There needs to a way to recover.

When adding a file association to an item as a 'link' or an 'attachment', i think it would be more streamlined if the browser dialog would default to the last file selection location. Currently it opens every time at the project level & the user has to drill down into lower files to select the file. With many folder locations this becomes time consuming.

In Vault when I create a new ITEM it is displayed a Standard-Thumbnail. I attache at the ITEM a primary file and the Thumbnail is updatet. Now I delete the primary file and the Thumbnail will remain. For me, a logical behavior would be that when I delete the primary file, the thumbnail will be set to the standardthumbnail of Vault.

When you open the Change state dialog, all files are selected (checked). If you re-use standard parts a lot, you always have to de-select (uncheck) all files and then select the ones you need to change state. Therefore I would like to have an option in the settings menu to choose if I want them all checked or unchecked when starting this function. It will save me time. Additional benefit is the reduced chance to make an unwanted revision on released parts. When you go from a released state to work in progress and accidentally you have to many files selected, they all get an unwanted revision update.

Pack & Go is a one of my favorite feature of Autodesk Vault and in the professional version of Autodesk Vault is great to be able to select a file or an article end export all file related to it. All customer that learned from ours Autodesk Inventor courses use draft 1:1 with 3D project files. Unfortunately some of ours customer are "self - study" and use draft 1:N with 3D project files. In this situation (as show below ) we can have N.3 tridimensional project file called: aaa.ipt, bbb.ipt and ccc.ipt ; and N. 2 draft called 001.idw and 002.idw. 001.idw has inside the rappresentation of aaa.ipt and bbb.ipt 002.idw has inside the rappresentation of bbb.ipt and ccc.ipt. If I select the 001.ipt and I make a Pack & go with option "include related documentation" this is what you get As you can see 002.idw is ben captured because bbb.ipt is in both draft 001.idw and 002.idw, but ccc.ipt (that is NEEDE to solve 002.idw requirements) is missing !!! Now, analyzing the export folder with Autodesk Vault Autoloader, we can clearly see the problem. Please excuse me for my horrible English writing.
