This tool has been around for several years now. With each year it gains new features. These features are intended to make an IT managers life easier and extend the overall functionality and reach of Vault within an organization. Listed below are each of the features included in the new 2014 release.
Oh
and to Mr. Bennett… I see now how this isn’t the best title. However having
posted the client features I have to finish with a “breakdown” of the server.
Vault Metadata Update (New for 2014)
Exports and imports data from an Excel spreadsheet. Just last week I was asked if there was a way to insert the manufactures number at a mass level referencing the part number. There is now using the IMAGINiT Utilities for Vault.
Export to Excel
Build
configurations of any of the Vault properties and export Vault metadata from
any folder.
So
let’s add some data to push back into Vault…
Import from Excel
The import tool looks for standard property columns in Excel and automatically maps them. Manual mapping is an option as well.After loading the Excel file listed above, let’s verify the first file from the list…
Vault Backup and Notification
This tool sets up a scheduled task that performs a backup and then sends a notification e-mail upon completion.
Vault Publisher
This tool Publishes .DWF’s of only released versions of items or files to an external folder of
your choice. Schedule your publishing or do it on-demand. The .DWF file names
can consist of any combination of iProperty information.
This tool requires the use of a Job Processor that is available in all version
of Vault except Vault Basic.
Create
any combination of filename using any of the Vault properties. If the file
names are the same, newer versions will overwrite as needed.
Vault Security Tool
This
tool will audit your Vault security by creating reports about users, groups,
administrative privileges and folder level security.
so where can we get it?
