Review all Checkouts by Date?

[James]

Hello, I am wondering if Vault has the capability to look at all check out items for a specific user, and the dates they were checked out.

I can seem to search for items checked out by a specific user, but the dates they were cheched out aren't there.

Is there a way to have this information displayed?

Thank you.

I am wondering if Vault has the capability to look at all check out items for a specific user, and the dates they were checked out.

The information is available, but not in the Search pane. You can look at Checkout properties of an individual file to see which users have the file checked out and the checkout date. But this is one file at a time.

You can also use the LISTCHECKOUTS command in the Vault Command Line Client. However, this returns checkout information for all users, not for any individual user.

If you need this information on a regular basis, you could use the Vault Client API to get the checkout list, then write a script to parse out the specific information that you need.

I'll log a feature request to add the checkout date to the Vault GUI Client search tab.

Ah, thank you. However, I'm not sure how to run the command line client - where could I find documentation on that? Thank you.

The command line client is included with the Vault GUI Client. For help, cd to the Vault Client directory from the command line. Type "vault help."

If you have Vault 3.1, use "vault helphtml" for an html version.
