Last Checkin person/Date column in client

Post by jfuex » Thu Jun 16, 2011 10:25 am

Is there a way to add a columns in the vault client item list to display the name of the last person that checked in a particular item and/or the date of the last checkin?

If this isn't possible, can I suggest it for future versions of Vault?

The date of the last checkin is the "Remote Date." You can enable this column in the Vault Client under Tools->Options->File List Columns.

File history will show the user who did the checkin.

Some users use Keyword Expansion to show the name of the last "Author."

Keywords allow you to specify strings in your source control files that get expanded to contain dynamic content in the file when retrieved to a client.

The $Author: $ keyword expands to show the name of the last user who changed the file.

There's also a keyword for $Date: $, or the time the file was last checked in.

See Vault Client Help->Reference Guide for more information:

I can log a feature request for a column to show the name of the user who last checked in the file.
