Hello, Needed some opinion on loading the status icon based on the properties current state. Is it performance efficient to load the status icon as part of the service output or create a state definition and only out put the value from the service and the icon is decided by the state definition. My thinking is that the state definition is loaded once on launch and icon is rendered based on the value, instead of loading the icon as a service output on every call.   Thank you!    

I have an infotable with a list of programs and associated parameters. I want to display the names of the programs in a dropdown widget and use the selected entry from that widget as input for a button widget activated service. However, I am having difficulty finding where the dropdown selection outputs to and how to get the infotable information to a service. How can I retrieve the current selection and its parameters in a service?

Hi all, I have been following this tutorial "https://developer.thingworx.com/en/resources/guides/analytics-builder-quickstart/analytics-builder-setup " and understood the basic concepts of Analytics builder in thingworx. Now I want to perform the same operation through services. I have imported CSV parser extension and has imported csv file to a file repository.  I am not clear how I can create dataset using services.     Thank You,

I am starting a new thread on this topic.   What is the PTC's plan for keeping permanent records for user activities tracking, IP addresses etc tracking. We have compliance requirements and we need to keep these records for lifetime of Thingworx Platform.   Background Info: We implemented Thingworx Navigate App for search, view and downloading PLM Windchill documents. Our userbase is quite large - 25k+ users. We need to be able to track user activities on the platform.   There was a suggestion on this forum to create external database to store such information. I think that this need is common across all PTC customers. I think that we need a solution from PTC which will be helpful for all of us.   thanks, Preeti

Hi!   Researching through documentation I found two ways of creating custom widgets 1) non-web-components. Like is pointed out in this guide. 2) web-components.

I'm trying to open thingworx local server but since yesterday, the page is loading but not opening. I don't know what is happening and I have created many important entities in that so I can't even delete it and reinstall it. Please help me as it's very important to me. I searched similar questions in PTC community and I noticed that many solutions include application log. I don't know how to see it so I linked the screenshot of browser and the application log of thingworx storage folder.

Hi All,   I have a query related to adding a thing shape dynamically onto a thing template but the issue is that the thing template, as well as the shape, is part of an extension, which means they are non-editable. By attaching the shape to the template a new functionality will be achieved by the things created under that template.   Please let me know if there is a way to attach a shape to a template dynamically (non-editable template)   Thanks in Advance!

Hello Experts,    I have the same issue :    I don't see the Changed event. I am expecting that when I select WorldName from Session tab the events will show up under Data Properties tab but nothing!! Regards,  Youss    

Hi,   I would like to have a service with a JSON as output. Is it possible to add a 'null' value in an array there? E.g.   {  field1: [50], field2: [null], field3: [60] }   (My service returns 'Error executing service. Message ::null - See Script Error Log for more details'). The null is really necessary (NaN etc. are not an option).

Hello everyone,   this is a follow up to this and that post as there was no solution suggested. The related support article suggests to turn off the feature as a "workaround".   As I am currently working on Thingworx 8.4.4 I am afraid the only option I have is to upgrade to 9.x? Can someone report if the issue is resolved in the latest releases?   Thank you Benny

Dear Community,   Now there is a demand, when the alert reaches the condition for more than how many minutes to trigger an event, the way I currently think of is to use Timer to control, but if there are a lot of alerts, will there be performance problems? Or is there a better way to deal with it, thank you!   Best Regards, Chason

In an organization, 3 organizational units were created. All units having individual UserGroups. The users in one UserGroup should not be added to another UserGroup. How to achieve this?

  The below image is part of a demo “ThingWorx Analytics Enablement Step 2: Use Case Discussion”       The prediction of time to failure, in this case 356 days, is among the functionalities shown in this demo for the ThingWatcher, but in the documentation of this module the time to failure prediction is not reported.  In summary, the question is, it is possible to predict the time to failure using only the anomaly detection module? If so, which functionality of the module is used for it and if case that is not possible, which module of thingworx was used to get the time to failure prediction?

I’m interested in predict anomalies in a process that works 24/7, but for training, I only have data of two days for each week, as depicts in the image below:  Considering that I have several months of data and the timestamps for each sample, is this data enough to properly train an anomaly detection model? 

Hi Team,   Suppose I have a set of entities under some project and I want to change the model tags of of all the entities under that project with some custom service (without changing the vocabulary terms), what would be the snippet for this custom service?   Thanks in advance.
