Copying the "Links for Shared file" list from prop

athomas · Post by **athomas** » Wed Dec 05, 2007 2:13 pm

I need to be able to get a machine-readable version of the list of shared file links.

The shared file links can be found under the File Properties of a file, in the Share Links tab. I can inspect the list, but I cannot copy any of the text out of the list.

I am using Version 4.0.2 (15802) of Vault in Windows XP.

Is there a way to allow copying out of that dialog box?

Is there a command line option to retreive the shared links list for a particular file?

Any method of getting the list of shared links out of Vault would be greatly appreciated.

thanks!

Currently, that's not available, but I do have a feature request opened on that. I can add your vote if you would like. In the meantime, another way to get a list is to run a history query, but on the actions tab select just the Share action. Once the history displays you can perform a Save As to save it as a .csv file which can be opened in Excel and manipulated there.

Oh, thanks! I didn't know you could do that in a "Show History" query!

And yes, please add my vote to that particular feature request.

Is there also a general feature request that all data that appears in dialog boxes can be freely copied? I'm sure there will be other times that it would be useful to be able to just highlight and copy data out of a dialog box. If there's a general feature request that is something like that, you can add my vote for that, too!

Thanks, Beth!
