I think I have mentioned this couple of times that PTC is positioning Windchill+ new UI as task based UI.What is PTC guideline on Thingworx Navigate roadmap position as role based app in future. Customers like us, JnJ have already on the path of developing role based apps for more than 5 years. These apps are extremely helpful for users who are just searching and downloading content. Is PTC going to position Navigate as their role based app tool? I think it will be great to understand what the future entails.

This will be my first LiveWorx at PTC. What should we expect from Navigate? What should we expect in general?

Emily,   Thank you so much for stopping by the PTC Community today!  Happy Friday!  What am I taking you away from right now?  What is a typical Friday for you as Product Management Director of ThingWorx Navigate?

Our official "Ask Anything" real-time was over at 11 AM EST but as Emily is going about making ThingWorx Navigate awesome.... she is gracious to come back at the end of her workday and even Monday morning. So be sure to add any burning ThingWorx Navigate questions that come in over the weekend!  Don't be shy!  Ask Emily Anything!  Happy Women's History Month, Everyone!

Example would be Download Drawing Bundle app. You can specify Parts or CAD doc numbers from which it navigates links to find drawings. Its hit or miss and since it never seems 100% accurate, users cannot rely on it.  Can you publish the assumptions or data model it follows so that customers might see where their data links are broken? Or make it flexible to align to how customers manage their data. How about just providing list of drawings (or docs!) to retrieve directly?

Welcome to Ask Anything (about ThingWorx Navigate) with ThingWorx Navigate’s Product Management Director, Emily Hartman! Emily is prepared to answer questions about the upcoming ThingWorx Navigate Product Release.  If your inquiry is “off topic,” Community Manager Jaime_Lee will help redirect the question or move it to the appropriate board to keep the product management related focus of our discussion.  So who wants to ask Emily anything?

@olivierlp    Please don't allow the 'Notify Moderator' button to shift over while replying.  Maybe keep the 'Reply' button visible but shown 'pressed' or grayed out.  Twice now I've hit reply and then cancelled because I thought I had inadvertently hit the 'Notify Moderator' button.   (view in My Videos)   Also, something is wrong with @ references.  As soon as I add the second letter of your name, all names disappear.  See this second video.  (view in My Videos)

I notice that if a solution has been accepted for any of the responses to a question I have participated in, the notifications at the front page of the community (home page, maybe?) always says   <USER> accepted your solution to <PROBLEM>   Even when one of my responses is not the one the original poster designated as the answer. Perhaps a bit of a coding miss on the home page generator?

I saw this today. Link: https://community.ptc.com/t5/Windchill/EBOM-to-MBOM-transformation-problem-in-MPM-Link-11-1/m-p/756817   

Starting today, when I browse over to this site, I get a message banner as shown in the attached image.   I'm using Firefox as my browser, V95.0, Windows 10. Is this something to be concerned about?

The TKB was a project started by Shilpa Kulkarni to publish some content on the Community. She left PTC in Nov 2021. Denise Santos in Customer Success dsantos@ptc.com let me know that this is on the backburner 

In the last weeks/months a couple of nice and useful changes were made to the forum but not all are an improvement. Just think of the too small edit window. I noticed that its larger now when I start to place an answer but still quite small and when I later edit my post its of low height again ( at least most of the times).   But another annoyance is when I try to reply to a post but am not logged in (which is the standard situation for me as I usually only log in when am about to answer a question). Before the changes which were done in the last weeks, when pressing the "reply" button I was sent to the PTC support login page and after having logged in I automatically found myself right in the reply edit window and could immediately start typing.   At the time now, two things may happen: Either 1) I get an error message and have to reload the page and login in after that ... or 2) I am sent to the login page as before, but after having logging in I find myself at the top of t

There seems to be a CSS issue with the private messages.  Notice how stuff is overlapping.
