With a long list of items in various states, it would be very helpful to be able to automatically color the rows differently by state. That way the eye can be drawn to specific rows!      Show More

Hello    There is an ability to derive new Vaults from an existing one. Doing so applies the same configuration to that new Vault. It will be a relly benefit for administrators to have the possibility to - compare configurations between two Vaults - transfer configuraton changes to another Vault   Thinking about an environment that consists of different stages of quality such as development quality and production, or having more than one Vault. At the moment changes made in one environment, Vault need to be applied manually to the next.    BR, Thomas Show More

As of Vault 2019.1, users who wish to locally update a missing or outdated visualization attachment require Delete permissions to be set to Allow, using Object Based security.  This is because, the attachment file is deleted and re-created with each Update.   A work around is to use Job Processor with a dedicated User who has these permissions, but that relies on the speed of the JP, and most (probably) users who are updating "on the fly" like this need to see the visualization immediately.  I would like to see some sort of setting, or permission override or.... something, that will allow all users to be able to use this function, regardless of their object based permissions.   Refer to >>this thread<< for more information.   What we tried:  Creating a Category just for dwf files, with a lifecycle definition containing a single state.  Then setting security on that State to: Everyone - Allow on Read, Modify & Delete.  This works in theory, but DWF attachments have no lifecycle state assigned, and do not allow the state to be changed, therefore these security settings will not apply.

     Since our company has started using Vault to manage our data, we have been trying to move all our data into it. That includes pictures of the custom products we make for later service and warranty requirements. One of the biggest complaints that I get from the day to day use of vault is that it doesn't really accommodate fast/ shuffle thru workflows like windows photo viewer. Once they had gotten to a specific folder or search for they could quickly shuffle thru all the photos. With customer demands ever increasing (especially when their equipment is down) our Technical Service groups speed is essential.      Vault currently requires that you click on the individual photo, then in order to zoom you must go to the preview and then click on the picture to "update" it. It does not save the update, so when you go to the next photo you have to start the process over. We do not want to exclude this information from vault as it is much simpler to have a one stop repository for all information to a given machine. We used to have all the information separated by group and that led to many communication issues.      I've included a quick pic with a toolbar overlaid to give you an idea of what type of functionality we are looking for. As you can see in the pic, we have already setup seeing the thumbnail in the main panel and the pictures have there own folder within the specific job folder. If there are any other ideas or better workflow that could be suggested, I would appreciate it. Show More

Some of the users report that when selecting a file, in the tree structure it is very hard to know which folder is currently selected.... Could be solved by changing a little bit the color to somthing darker... Show More

We use the per Item link properties on change orders for change descriptions of each item.  Please allow the use of carriage return/linefeeds.  We frequently have many details to enter and currently we have to use semicolons or similar to delineate changes.  The detailed description allows multiline, how about text UDPs.

Hello, We are trying to add a stamp or Water mark in the file preview based on life cycle state change. There should be a option in the API to do so, based on the requirement in life cycle state change. Even tried to check if any event is assosiated with preview tab click.     Show More

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.

Would like to have an administrator option to force a date watermark to be printed on drawings when printed from the thin client. Where I work we have to keep track of all controlled documents, but it is states in our policies that once a drawing is printed from vault, it is no longer controlled. Well we have come into problems where manufacturing are printing out drawings months ahead of time and missing crucial revisions and we have no way of knowing when the prints they are using were printed from vault.   Water mark only needs to be along the edge of the printing area and to contain the day, month, and year.

In our world we have ended up with a couple of different Vaults. Mostly due to DOD work and the fact that we also have foreign national advisers within the engineering groups. But also with the DOD work, we need to segregate who can access the Vault that this work is being done on.   Our workspace is a single Vault project environment and that project file runs both vaults. So the directory structures are the same and the main original Vault still holds all of the Template/Design Standard type of stuff.   For most Engineers, they are assigned to a certain area and then just need to make sure they are logged into the correct Vault to start with. As long as they have selected auto log in they will always return to that Vault per their profile.   In managing these, I have to come in and out of them as needed. There have been many times that I have push incorrect information into the wrong Vault and had to redirect what I have done. Nothing major but is has happened.   Now in Vault Explorer it is very easy to tell the Vault you are logged into through the interface.   However in the application add-ins, Vault and Excel as an example, I do not see a way to know what Vault is logged into.   My method at this point is to log out and back in to make sure of the proper Vault connection.   I would like to see some indication from the application add-ins that shows what Vault is currently connected to.         Show More
