Vault Client System Properties - Non-adjustable column width?!?!?!?

[phlyx]

A suggestion for Vault Client.  On the right side of the window there is a section that shows the properties of the file or folder selected.  The default looks like this with both columns the same width:

In our environment we have fields such as Folder Path, Part Name and Project Description that can become quite long.  The left hand column with the titles of all the properties is static so that's fine, but if we want to widen the right column to read the entire text field, BOTH COLUMNS STAY EQUAL IN WIDTH.  Huh?

We have no way to leave the left column just wide enough for the titles and just make the right column wider.  Even making the properties window our full client window wide we often cannot read the entire text since it only gives the right column HALF of the window width.  Can someone please give us the ability to resize the two columns INDEPENDENTLY????

I will move this idea to our Ideas board.

Thanks.  I was looking and didn't see an ideas board for Vault.  Is it a general Autodesk idea board?  This was the only sections I saw.

You are looking at a filter that will only show you discussion forums, not Idea boards.

This Idea board is specifically for Vault.

To find other Idea boards and forums, start from this location.

Ahh, thanks.  I was looking at my Forum and Activities Page and on the right side is a link that says Vault Forum and when I clicked on that the ideas area didn't show up.  I'll go in from the main topics page from now on, sometimes taking a shortcut isn't much of a shortcut.  Would be nice to be able to adjust the width of the column independently.

Hi, 

Would be nice also to select particular system properties to show / hide on the list. Not all of them are relevant.

You can hide system properties from the grid. Select the system property and click the Minus button.

Thanks but not trying to hide properties, trying to find a way to have the two columns in the properties window to be different widths.  If the variable name is "Folder" and the data for that name is long you end up with:

__________________________________________________________________________________________

Folder                                                                      | R:\Projects\Packaging System001\CAD\Parts\Machined Parts\Infeed

You can't have:
