Additional Pages for the Vault's Browser-based Interface

Old Content - see latest equivalent
Modified by Jason Howie on May 31, 2017

Altium Vault 2.5 brings with it an expanded browser-based interface, with the addition of two new pages - Home and Stream. The Home page provides a summarizing overview of recent vault activity, and those managed projects created by the user currently signed-in to the interface. The Stream page provides a stream of real-time notifications concerning the signed-in user. These are for various events associated with Managed Projects, Component Items, and Approval Requests.

The Home and Stream pages can be seen by both administrators and standard users of the vault. Only notifications for events applicable to the currently signed-in user will be presented.

Home Page

The Home page provides quick reference information, tailored to, and relevant for, the vault user who is currently signed in through the interface. The page is accessed by clicking the Home page header.

Example content for a user on their Home page.

The page presents two lists:

  • Recent Activity - this is very much a reflection of the real-time notifications found on the Stream page of the interface. Each message includes a link to the entity affected by the event, on the relevant page of the interface. The most recent event appears at the top of the list.
  • My Projects - this is a listing of managed projects, complete with description (where available), that have been created by the signed-in user. The name of a project acts as a link to that project, on the Projects page of the interface. The most recently created project appears at the top of the list.

Stream Page

The Stream page is a live feed of event notifications, applicable to, and relevant for, the vault user who is currently signed in through the interface. The page can be accessed in two ways:

  • By clicking the Stream page header.
  • By clicking the Inbox control, at the top-right of the interface - to the left of the Sign Out control.

Example content for a user on their Stream page.

The number next to the Inbox control reflects the number of currently unread messages in the stream.

Each message in the stream carries similar information:

  • The name of the user whose action has resulted in the event.
  • The time the event happened (in terms of how many minutes, hours, or days have elapsed since the event occured).
  • An automated message describing the event. A link is also included to the entity affected by the event. This can be:
    • A Managed Project (on the Projects page of the interface).
    • A Component Item Revision (on the Vault page of the interface).
    • An Item Revision at the center of a state transition approval request (on the Vault page of the interface).
  • An optional user-added note, where available, that gives extra information.
The most recent event appears at the top of the list.

By default, all notification types are presented. To change this, click on the All control and choose a particular notification type to display. Supported notification types are:

  • Projects:
    • Project creation
    • Project update
    • Project deletion
    • Project commital
    • Project release
    • Project revision state change
  • Components:
    • Component release
    • Component revision state change
    • Component deletion
  • Approval Requests:
    • Approval request creation
    • Approval request assignee change
    • Approval request completion
    • Approval request cancellation
    • Approval request reminder
You can also choose to display only unread notifications.
Use the Mark as read control, to the right of a notification, to mark it as read. This removes that message from the unread list, and also from the number of unread messages indicated next to the Inbox control.
