Vault Web View 2.0

Update:  Vault Web View 2014 is now available.  Sorry, there is no 2013 version.

Here is my update of Vault Web View.  It's basically a web control embedded in a Vault Explorer tab. 

To use it, your Vault administrator sets up a Vault property which will contain the URL information.  After that, whenever you select a Vault object that contains the property, the Web View tab will browse to that URL.  The URL can be set and updated using Vault's property editor.


Requirements:
Vault Workgroup/Collaboration/Professional 2012

Click here to download the application
Click here to download the source code


Enhancements:
In version 1.0 a custom command was needed to set and update a folder URL.  In Vault 2012, folders can have property values, so Web View was updated to use properties instead of a custom command.  Version 2 also allows you to set URL data on all main entity types (files, folders, items and change orders).  Lastly, you don't need to be an administrator to set the URL.  Anyone who can set property data, can set the URL.  I'm not sure if this is good or not, but it's a result of using Vault property data.

    Hi Doug,
    I ran the installer for Vault Web View 2.0 on my test server for Vault Professional 2013 as well as on a client computer. The installer completed successfully and even shows up in Add/Remove Programs but I don’t see any new UI elements in Vault Pro 2013. I was expecting to see the new tab and property values and a Configure Web View command. Do you know what I might be missing?
    Thanks,
    Michael

  5. This version only works with Vault 2012. There is no 2013 version of Vault Web View.
    If you want to use this app with Vault 2013, you or somebody who knows how to program will have to download the source code and port it over to the Vault 2013 SDK.
