Hi Guys,
In RDM it is possible to add an Entry type "DataSource (shortcut)" and a "Vault (Shortcut)".
Would it be possible to have the same Entry type but to link to other Entry in another Vault?
Thank you very much

Hello,
I'd like to clarify a few things with you to make sure I understand your needs.
Are you looking for a simple entry like the "Vault (shortcut)" where the only action you can perform with it is to 'execute' it and switch to that vault + entry? Do you also need this to be available for all of your users?
I'm asking for two reasons.
The first is that the favorites were recently reworked to improve the behavior with entries from different vaults. It's now more convenient to perform actions on these entries. The negative here is that favorites are only for your users, so all of your users would need to favorite the required entries and access them through their favorites tab.
The second is that seeing all of the information of an entry in a different vault implies fetching the information contained within that vault which may take more time. Going about it with a simpler implementation would save on this processing.
The simplest way to support this feature would be to create an entry like you suggest, but I'm wondering if there may be a more appropriate way.

Hi Hubert,
Yes, an Entry Like a shortcut would be fanstatic, it would switch to that vault and entry would make the job.
Your suggestion (the second part) of showing the information of the entry would be nice as well, I understand the performance issue that could come with.
For me, the first option would do the job. It would make sense as you already have a shortcut for Vaults and Datasources. Why not for a normal Entry?
Perfect, thank you for your feedback, we'll open a ticket and see what we can do. I'm thinking maybe we could rework the shortcut entries to be more versatile and have three different mode (datasource, vault, or entry) rather than 3 different entry types.
