Copy Property Values Faster with Improved Cell Selection

Vault 2026.2 streamlines the copy and paste workflow for property values in the Vault client. You can now select and copy individual cells or multiple cells from the Properties panel, main grid, and customized views in tabs. When you copy property values, only the selected cell values are copied, eliminating the need to manually remove unwanted data such as property names or column headers after pasting into external applications like Excel, Word, or email.

This enhancement applies to all workspaces (Files, Items, Change Orders) and all views in tabs, including dialogs where columns are displayed. You can select single cells or multiple cells from the same or different properties, then use Ctrl+C to copy and Ctrl+V to paste the values directly into your target application without additional cleanup.

Feature was inspired by suggestions from the Vault Community Idea Board.

Open Multiple Files with Fewer Clicks

Vault 2026.2 enables you to open multiple files simultaneously with a single action. You can select multiple files using Ctrl+click in Vault Client, then right-click and select Open to open all selected files at once. This enhancement significantly reduces the number of clicks required when working with large sets of files, reducing the workflow from 50 clicks to 13 clicks when opening 10 files.

The multi-select Open command supports files with different extensions that can be opened in the same application. This allows you to select and open a mix of design files (such as different CAD file types) in a single operation, streamlining your workflow when working with multiple related files.

Select "None" to Skip Numbering Schemes

The default configuration of Vault 2026.2 adds a "None" option to the numbering scheme dropdown in the Data Standard. When creating new Items or files, you can now select "No numbering scheme" to skip the numbering scheme requirement. This enhancement saves three clicks for users who do not need a numbering scheme, streamlining the workflow when creating Items or files.

The "None" option is available in the numbering scheme dropdown regardless of whether Vault provides a single numbering scheme or multiple numbering schemes. This removes the previous restriction and provides consistent behavior across all Data Standard workflows.

Customized configuration need to copy the updated function from .\CAD\addins\Default.ps1:InitializeNumSchm().
