Step 5: Collection WidgetStep 6: Customize CollectionStep 7: Detail Panel  Step 5: Collection Widget A Collection widget is used to display information from a collection of Things. Similar to a Grid Widget, the Collection widget gives you complete control over how data is displayed by binding data to an embedded static Mashup. In the first part of this step we will create a static Mashup with Parameters bound to its widgets. Next, we will configure a Collection widget to use the static Mashup we create. In the next step we will customize the Collection styling. Create Static Mashup Click the Browse tab on the far left of Composer, in the Visualizations section, click Mashups .Click + New to create a Mashup.Select Static Mashup, then click OK. Name your Mashup TractorListFormatIf Project is not already set, click the + in the Project text box and select the PTCDefaultProject.Click Save.Click the Design tabIf Project is not

I am currently working on configurator application and it looks something like this We haveSome configurations on leftA Thing View with a model loaded in the middleA list of selected configuration on the rightI want achieve two things here.Some how get a list of all parts that are currently on this model and I will make them checked by default in the left menu.Hide and show specific parts based on my selection on the left menu. For example, when I unselect Bucket from the menu it should be removed from the model and when I check it , it comes back.This feature I want to add is similar to the Windchill Visualization option. But I don't know where to look for this in Thing Worx and what option of Thing View I need to update.   

Hi all, is there any way to retrieve the token name using the token valuesThere are multiple entry for token name which has same token value. For example ui.testpassed= test passed , also test_passed = test passed. Need to clean up duplicateThanks in advance 

Hi Expert Community,I have an application that requires to read data using Modbus serial at a fix rate (for example every 5 minutes). The complete data read by Modbus should be published using IoT Gateway MQTT. However an additional requirement is that using the System tag for DemandPoll, the MQTT client should trigger a new Modbus acquisition and also get the new set of values published immediately.Can you suggest how the scan rate in Modbus and in IoTGateway should be configured?Regards,  

I have a mashup with an advanced grid that displays data coming from sql server database. I want to be able to add and remove rows in order to add or delete row data. I was able to add two two advanced grids. Grid one showed all my data and grid two was empty. I was only able to select multiple rows by holding ctrl button. That's the only way I could pass data to the other advanced grid. Is there another way of doing this? I want a user within the mashup to be able to add/delete rows.

Hello, i keep getting these info server stats every 30 mins and would like disable it. any suggestions? 

Guide ConceptStep 1: Import SPC AcceleratorStep 2: Configure Properties for SPC monitoring     Configure streaming asset properties for SPC monitoring.   Guide Concept   Note: This guide is intended only as a starting point and is not a fully developed or supported solution. This accelerator has been developed using ThingWorx 8.5 and should not be used with any previous versions of the software.   This project introduces you to configuring Properties from your connected streaming assets for Statistical Process Control (SPC) monitoring.   Following the steps in this guide, you will learn how multiple connected assets and their Properties can be displayed in a hierarchy tree.   You will then configure these Properties using predetermined set points, and upper and lower control points for the assets.   Finally, you will learn to navigate the monitoring of the Properties.   We introduce some of the basic building blocks of an SPC accelera

Step 3: Monitor SPC PropertiesStep 4: Next Steps     Step 3: Monitor SPC Properties   Once the properties have been configured, you are ready to progress on to SPC monitoring.   This is done by viewing the PTC.SPC.Monitoring_MU Mashup.   NOTE: Once a property has been configured for SPC monitoring, 2-5 minutes must pass before the accelerator has collected enough streaming values to perform SPC calculations. During this time, you may see an item that has 2 OOC rules violated; “Collecting Enough Data to Begin Monitoring” and “… to Compute Capability”.     Within Property SPC Status, click an item from the grid that has 0 in the OOC column. See that the Out of Control Rules area is blank, since there are no currently-violated SCP rules for that selected property. Both CP and CPK are above 1.0, showing that the process is capable. All the points in the charts are blue, as they do not violate any OOC rules. Within Property SPC Status, click an it

Some background, we were having some issues with properties connecting that do not change often. We changed the push type of the property to "Always" and this allowed good quality. According to best practices though, we shouldn't do this for many properties. In the same article, it mentions setting the Cache time would pull from the Edge device so we tried this in hopes these properties can pull these static values and connect. Issue: We're having trouble with setting the cache time of a remote property via service. Here's the code, cacheTime grabbed from this article.    // properties and addresses from Kepware propertiesAndAddresses = ["FlowMeterFlowRateAV","S7E_1501_1032.1032.3.DB74,DBW10",.....]; for(var i = 0; i < propertiesAndAddresses.length - 1; i+=2){ var aspects = { "tagAddress": propertiesAndAddresses[i+1], "scanRate": 500 }; me.SetRemotePropertyBinding({ propertyName: propertiesAndAddresses[i], // STRING aspects: aspects,// JSON cache

Step 4: Create and Implement State DefinitionsStep 5: Implementing Event-Based State ChangesStep 6: Next Steps  Step 4: Create and Implement State Definitions A state definition is a collection of style definitions, along with rules for when to apply each style definition. The rule plus the style definition is a state. In the HelloWorldPlayground Mashup, if the Gauge Widget goes to 10 and the Increment the Count button is clicked once again, the Gauge starts back at 0. This value change is displayed in the Line Chart when it is refreshed. Nevertheless, it would be helpful to have a way to show a user that they’re encroaching 10 and will have to restart, such as the Gauge changing colors in the section. This and many other uses is where State Definitions become useful and go hand and hand with Style Definitions.  Create Style Definition to Represent State Change First, let’s create Style Definitions to represent the changes in the count. The default St

Hi Community, We created a grid using collection widget, which is working fine for us and is showing data as per expectation.But only two users are facing this issue that no data is loading for them on screen, but service is returning data in response. Although, I can see child mashup name in headers of network with Request Method as GET and Error code as 404.Is data loading on response and not on runtime because of this 404 error or can this be due to something else?Permissions seem to be working fine for user.
