Vault Standard Client - Sort Share Links List

Post by CoffeeNerd » Tue Feb 21, 2012 12:31 pm

We use the share/link feature quite a bit across multiple branches within our Vault repository and any given file can have as many as 5 or more links to these other branches.

Currently selecting a file, using the context menu to select 'Properties...', then the 'Share Links' tab of the File Properties window will return an unordered list of these links which can be difficult to inspect quickly.

I'd like to request an enhancement that either the Share Links list be ordered by the full path of each link by default or that at least there be added a context pick or list header that one could click to sort this list in such a way.

For example we may have a list that looks like:

Code: Select all

$/Repository/type/env_A/subenv_1/project/fileA
$/Repository/type/env_C/project/fileA
$/Repository/type/env_E/subenv_2/project/fileA
$/Repository/type/env_B/subenv_3/project/fileA
$/Repository/type/env_D/subenv_1/project/fileA
...and it would be nice if it appeared as:

Code: Select all

$/Repository/type/env_A/subenv_1/project/fileA
$/Repository/type/env_B/subenv_3/project/fileA
$/Repository/type/env_C/project/fileA
$/Repository/type/env_D/subenv_1/project/fileA
$/Repository/type/env_E/subenv_2/project/fileA
The above isn't nearly as messy in appearance as our environment but at least conveys the idea.

Thank you!

I've entered a feature request.

In the meantime, if you'd like I have a query that will show all shares for a repository, and you could dump that information into an Excel file. If that sounds useful to you, send an email to support at sourcegear.com (attn: Beth) with a link to this forum thread.
