The thin client is intended for those on-premise who need read-only access to view the design data contained within Vault. Vault Professional provides this with the Vault Web (Thin) Client. Many only require read-only access to QVP (Query, View, & Print). This is especially true considering using the Vault Professional client consumes a license, even if used to only view the data. Not everyone requires full access to the data contained within Vault. Use the Vault 2022 thin client to query and view your Vault files, items, and change orders (yes change orders!) from a browser, only needing your Vault credentials to log in. So good news, the 2022 thin client is completely revamped with a modern interface. If you haven’t seen it, let’s just say it would be like looking at a web page in Netscape in 1995 compared to how things look today in Chrome or Edge. We long ago dismissed it and developed our own stand-alone viewer. Worse it was slow and had a very clunky reliance on a Design Review plug-in to view documents. The previous edition provided a weird interface that was hard to navigate, difficult to find things, and painful to move between documents. If you’re like me, you’ve probably forgotten that Vault Professional includes a thin (web) client to compliment the Vault (thick) client. Well, that’s changed with Vault 2022! An Updated Vault Thin Client with Vault 2022 I think the only thing longer than my last post was the last time Autodesk updated the Vault Thin Client.
