Thin Client - Customize Your View

Customize your view of the data in the thin client by specifying the sort order, configuring which properties are displayed, and changing the layout.

Note: Vault Workgroup requires a Vault Office license to use the thin client. Vault Professional provides read-only access through the thin client by default. A Vault Office license is required for read-write access.

Sort

You can sort the contents of any view. You can sort in ascending or descending order based on any property configured for that view.

Column View

• Click a column heading to sort by that property.
• Click the column heading again to switch between ascending and descending sort order.

  The corresponding column is sorted from highest value to lowest value or from lowest value to highest.

Tile and Plank View

• From the Sort by drop-down list, select the property by which to sort.
• Select the same property from the drop-down list again to switch between ascending and descending sort order.

  The view is sorted from highest value to lowest value or from lowest value to highest.

Configure Properties

You can configure which properties to display for each view in the thin client. The administrator can enforce the default properties, preventing you from configuring your views. If the Configure Properties button is not visible, the administrator is enforcing which properties are displayed.

1. Click Configure Properties for the view you want to configure.
2. In the Available Properties list, select the properties you want to display and then click Add to move them to the list on the right side. In the Selected Properties list, select the properties you want removed and then click Remove.
3. Select a property and then click Move Up or Move Down to adjust its display order.
   Note: Press CTRL or SHIFT to select multiple properties.
4. Click Save.

You can always return to the set of properties originally chosen by the administrator.

1. Click Reset to Defaults.
2. Click Save.

Change Views

There are three different views for displaying content in the thin client:

1. Grid displays content in a table layout with column headers.
2. Tile displays content as large thumbnails. While the configured properties are not displayed with the thumbnail, the view can be sorted based on a property selected in the Sort by list.
3. Planks displays content as large thumbnails with properties alongside. The view can be sorted based on a property selected in the Sort by list.

Paging

The thin client displays objects using paging. A certain number of objects are initially displayed. If you scroll to the bottom of the page and there are more objects to display, additional objects are automatically loaded. Each time you reach the bottom of a the page, the next batch of objects are loaded until everything is displayed. By default, the number of objects loaded each time is 200. You can change paging options in the Administration dialog in the Autodesk Data Management Server console.
