Live Links
Live links are fields
stored in DataVault that perform special actions when
you tap on them. Live links are displayed in blue and
can only be activated from the item details screen.

One type of live link is
a telephone number. If you enter a field containing
seven or more digits, DataVault will assume it is a
telephone number and store it as a live link. If you tap
on the field, DataVault will prompt you for
confirmation, then launch the iOS Phone application and
initiate a call to then number stored in DataVault.
Sending an Email
Another type of live link
is email addresses. If you enter a field containing
"@" followed by a period, DataVault will
assume it is an email address and store it as a live
link. If you tap on the field, DataVault will prompt you
for confirmation, then launch the iOS Mail application
and display the compose message screen and automatically
fill the To field with the email address stored in
DataVault.
Opening a Web Site
The last type of live
link is an internet site address or URL. If you enter a
field beginning with "http://", DataVault will
assume it is a URL and store it as a live link. If you
tap on the field, DataVault prompt you for confirmation,
then launch Safari and go to the URL stored in
DataVault.
Logging into Web Sites
DataVault facilitates logging into web
sites in several ways. Tapping on a web site address
(URL) stored in DataVault will launch Safari and go to
the page. DataVault field contents can be copied and
