Feature request: Exclude user filter

In Vault GUI, please have a method of excluding certain users, like -excludedusers option on the CLC.

Can you explain more what you mean? There isn't an -excludedusers option in the CLC that I am aware of.

Ah never mind - you probably mean -excludeusers from the history query command.

This is available in the GUI client - see the Users tab of the History dialog, where you can include/exclude users.

Yes, sorry, I meant -excludeusers in HISTORY command of CLC.

And what is currently in 3.1.1 Vault GUI is includeusers.

To clarify with an example: we currently have 53 active and scores of inactive users in Vault. Two of them are called build and build2, used for autobuild labeling operations so in most cases other users don't really care what it does.

Using CLC (repository options etc omitted for clarity) I can do:

Code: Select all

Vault HISTORY -excludeusers build,build2 $/some/file.cs

Nice and short.

Using GUI History Filter, I must somehow select 51+inactive users except build and build2 to get the same effect, so it's not easy at all.

Ah - I see. I'll add this is a feature request.

One thing to note: It is still a bit of a pain, but you can use Shift Left Click to select a range of users, and then Ctrl Left click to unselect the users you don't want. However, it would be far easier to have another radio button for excluding users.

Thanks a lot.

My point exactly. It's not that it can't be done, but my fellow Vault users are a really really lazy bunch

Hi guys,

Using v3.5.1.

I just found this post about excluding users in history searches, but I'm after the opposite--I'd like to filter out about 50 other active/inactive users (without explicitly listing them with -excludeusers) and view history from commandline for just ONE user ('build').

Is there currently a trick to getting an "include users" from the Vault command-line, akin to going to the Show History...-->User tab in the client GUI and just selecting my 'build' user? (I have this working for my SourceSafe build scripts right now with their command line's history -u build option).

Thanks!

Sorry, the Command Line Client currently only has the option to exclude user actions.

I'll log a feature request for the ability to run a query based on a particular user's actions.
