![]() ![]() This token is the equivalent as root superuser in Linux systems, so its use should be limited to a minimum. When initially installed, Vault automatically generates a “root token”. The simplest method uses Tokens, which are just strings sent on every API request using a special HTTP header. We then wrote a little bit of automation that allowed them to click on a tab inside of vault and see the project location superimposed on Google Maps.To access secrets in Vault a client needs to authenticate itself using one of the supported methods. I worked with one firm where they tracked the latitude and longitude of the project. Adding properties to folders isn’t quite as common so I hope this helps get the creative juices flowing. This approach makes it easy.Īdding user defined properties to files is very common and next week I will talk about how Vault can automatically populate them based on data from a drawings title block. Imagine if you were an office manager trying to get a listing of the current projects going on. If you have the data, you can search by it!Īnother benefit of user defined properties is they create nice operational dashboards. ![]() We could create queries to show projects completed in a certain zip code or city or state. Any user defined property becomes a search parameter. They were having a heck of a time finding data because of the age of the project, employee turnover, etc. It was said as a joke, but they were also trying to find project information for a bridge design completed 20+ years prior because of a failure and they were named in a law suit. One of my Midwest clients once told me that the final phase of any project is litigation. But what about 6 months down the road after the project completion? 5 years later? 10 years later? I’m sure you get the point. While we are working on a project, information like its number and project manager are usually engrained in our memory. The biggest benefit for doing this is searches and queries. The image below shows a few examples of what I am talking about. This becomes much more beneficial because now we can track information we care about with our projects. Thankfully, we can also create user defined properties that are assigned with categories. This is great, but in the case of folders, it really doesn’t tell us that much other than who created it and when. One of the benefits of Vault is that it is always tracking properties about files and folders. Lifecycles aren’t the only thing driven by categories. At the core of this approach is that folders are assigned a category that in turn drive the lifecycle (active, complete, etc.) of the folder (project). Last week, I discussed utilizing folder lifecycles inside of Autodesk Vault Professional for archival purposes to reduce the number of projects that users “see” on a day to day basis. ![]()
