powerEvents is a Vault extension, which allows to take advantage of the Vault Client events, such as check-in/-out, lifecycle change and the like.\
It also provides functionality to programmatically extend the UI of the Vault Client with Context Menu Items or Tabs and the Inventor with Menu Items in the Inventor Ribbons.

You can write custom code that will be executed on the according event via PowerShell. Let’s say you would like to fill or clear some properties on a lifecycle state change,\
automatically rename files when imported via drag&drop or prevent a lifecycle state transition when a combination of properties does not match your rules, etc.\
The product makes it easy to create such logic in a simple PowerShell script and, if desired, distribute this customization directly to other Vault environments.
