PTC is exploring visual design improvements to tab and button elements, and we’re looking for product users to participate in a remote usability session. No specific product expertise is required. We’re simply looking for as many PTC users as possible to help us understand preference around these feature enhancements.

The official documentation for the Collection widget incorrectly describes the collection data binding requirements.The documentation states that collection data should be bound as { "Prameter1": "Column1", "Parameter2": "Column2"}Where the parameter defined in the child mashup is the key and the column name of the data source is to be used as the value.This is backwards both to the tooltip shown in the mashup composer and to the actual function. The tooltip correctly states that the mashup property binding is a JSON object with Infotable fields as its Keys and mashup parameters as values. I have confirmed that the tooltip version is correct and allows the collection to function as expected.I would like to see the documentation error corrected as it misled me and wasted development time

While exporting the Structure BOM by selecting the “Multi Level BOM” option under the Reports tab, the BOM is currently exported with the report name followed by the Username and the current date. We would like to know if there is any possibility to export the file using the Number + Part Name instead.

I am trying to configure a grid widget to editable via a dropdown list in one or more columns.I have reviewed the documentation here and here. Both documents that detail JSON configuration and dropdown lists indicate statically defining the dropdown list selections in the JSON configuration directly (ie"dropdownConfiguration": {"items": ["Active", "Parked", "Undergoing Maintenance"]}Due to the potential size and expected change over time for the list of selections I would like to define the dropdown list via a service rather than statically defined in the JSON configuration.I would appreciate some guidance on how to define a data source to be used for the dropdown list

Hi Folks,Is there a way to customize/tailor the Bill of Materials report in assembly mode so that the headers can be specified as parameters?  For example, instead of the default column header 'Name' I would like it to be 'Title'.  I would also like to create additional column headers. Thank you. 

We have a connection issue between KepserverEx 6.18 and Janitza UMG96-S2 power measuring device. The connection is working and the tags can be readed via QuickClient but during the reading the quality of some tags randomly switching from good to bad for a while. The strange is that not all of the tags quality switches and it happens randomly. Does anyone has a similar issue with a Modbus TCP connection?

You place it in the ARC_TRANSITION option and set the RETRACT_RADIUS. Following these steps from the manual, the line comes out straight, making a corner instead of an arc.

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 10.0 and Datecode with CPS M010Critical vulnerability (CVSS10.0) in its Windchill and FlexPLM products. Want to add the immediate remediation steps but don't understand instructions.Currently have "D:\ptc\Windchill_12.1\HTTPServer\conf\conf.d\30-app-Windchill-Auth.conf" file. Do I simply create the new 90-app-Windchill-auth.conf and ONLY put the entry that was sent in the remediation or do I copy the 30-app file renaming to 90-app and have all of my configuration settings plus remediation??? Some of the replies to this topic were published during the recent read-only period.

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: Hello, We are running **PTC Windchill 13 with **SolidWorks 2024 integration. Visualization files are generated through WVS using a SolidWorks worker. We are trying to optimize publishing load and would like to change the publishing strategy slightly. Our lifecycle is approximately: Concept → Prototype In Work → Prototype Released → In Work → Under Review → Released → Obsolete Goal During normal design work (In Work), every CAD check-in generates the visualization viewable (Creo View / PVZ). When the design leaves the In Work phase, the geometry should no longer change. Therefore the last check-in in In Work would effectively be the final viewable generation. After that point: the existing viewable representation should remain attached to the CAD document / WTPart it should simply carry forward to the next lifecycle states Later, when the object is promoted to Released, we only want to generate the final deliverables: PDF (drawing) DXF (if parameter DXF

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: To use the IFX library in the Creo for the Windchill fasteners and Also want to build standard fasteners library in the windchill from Fasteners available in the Creo IFX library.Description: Want to upload standard fasteners from the Creo IFX library to the windchill and also want IFX to fetch and use the fasteners form the windchill libraries when designer is using IFX tool in the Creo. But in the windchill the custom numbering scheme is configured for the standard parts in the windchill library. so also want to maintain that numbering scheme for the fasteners and they should be used by IFX library in the Creo when designer wants to assemble any fastener in his assembly.What configurations are needed to implement this functionality ? and how to do this ?Also is it possible to map the Creo parameter of the fastener parts directly to the windchill partslink classification attributes ? Versions : Windchill 13.0.2.6 and Creo 11.0.0.0
