Vault 2012 includes new User Interface improvements, allowing users to configure Vault for their own workflows. First, the Properties window in Vault 2012 provides three optional layout views: Detail view, Small Icon, and Larger Icon. These options can be chosen from the standard toolbar.
Users can opt for this easy display of their files and thumb through documents quickly, leveraging thumbnail views of their file from the property grid. So, to contrast these options, I selected a file in Vault, and from the stand-alone client, let’s look at two way of view the same file. First, the text based, grid-like format that y’all are used to from Vault 2011 and earlier:
Now, take a look at the same data, with Property grid collapsed, Navigation Tree collapsed, and Large Icons set.
Which one would you rather use?
Finally, navigation in the new world is even easier now. Vault provides breadcrumb ‘back’ and ‘forward’ buttons, and an ‘Up’ level button to make surfing through Vault even better.
