How to create Multiple modules structure under single Vault Applications

Yashkumar Amrutiya

Hi all,

I have a vault application that is capable to perform multiple tasks, but currently, it's under one configuration.

Is there any way to split it like Modules and each Module has its own configurations? Like the M-Files Compliance kit where we have one general dashboard at root-level and

under that we have separate modules with their own configurations.

I know that we implement " ConfigurableVaultApplicationBase " but this class is for applications that want to use a single, securable configuration but not with multiple configurations.

I tried to use internal classed like " VaultApplicationBase, IUsesAdminConfigurations " and i know that we have methods to add " AddSimpleConfigurationNode, AddSimpleDashboardNode, AddRootNode".

I was successful in using " AddSimpleDashboardNode " and setting dashboard node as root node but I Don't know how to use the " SubNodes " parameter of dashboardNode class.

We don't have much documentation regarding these use-cases, it will be really helpful to get the sample code to perform such things.

Thank You,

Yash

    I've just asked craig for an example. I've just played around a little bit. Dashboard customizing works at least.

    Hi Falk,

    From this picture, it seems like you are managing everything with one Main Configuration and each sub-configuration might be performing some sort of task.

    In such an approach it's hard to manage the code when you have a big sub-task to perform.

    So yes, it will be nice to have a sample code to Customize the Dashboard and have a module structure.

    Whilst there is some support for modular vault applications within the VAF, it has not been something that we have actively discussed so far.  In fact, the functionality that is there has some known limitations (e.g. it does not use the secure configuration manager) so I personally do not recommend that you use it.

    Official support for modular vault applications is one thing that I want to prioritise for a future release of the VAF.  At that point we will, of course, document it via the Developer Portal.

    At the moment the best approach is Falk's.
