Whenever I attempt to use the '.includes()' method on string in ThingWorx composer, I always get an error saying that the .includes method can not be found on the object. I even log the type of the variable that I am trying to edit, just to make sure it is in fact a string. And I still can not get around this.   Here's an example of what I'm talking about:   var myString = 'I am trying to debug some crazy ThingWorx issues'; var myBoolean = myString.includes('ThingWorx');   *the above code will throw the error: 'TypeError: Cannot find function includes in object I am trying to debug some crazy ThingWorx issues. (GetProcessPartID#22)]'   But if I log 'typeof myString', it will log 'string'.   What gives?!

Hello guys,   I would like to know if it is possible bind more than one single service to the same grid.   The idea is to have different buttons (four in my case) and every button calls a different service to show data in the grid (DataShape and everything necessary remains the same) .   So Button1 calls a service which shows apples and bananas, Button2 calls a service which shows oranges and strawberries, and so on...   I hope what I have requested is possible.   Kind regards    

what will happen if i install thingworx on local computer which is not windows server 12 or 16       Thanks & Regards Bharathan

Hi   I had created mashup which contains two different widgets i.e Google Map widget and time series widget. The time series widget location shows the "Tank Level" and google map widget shows the tank location. I had used the service available for Thing Templates to bind the data to widgets. I had used "GetImplementingThingsWithData" service to bind location with Google Map widget. Also I had used "QueryImplementingThingsWithPropertyHistory" service to bind tank level with TimeSeries chart widget. I had create 3 things whose data (i.e. location and tank level) I am sending to thingworx. I can see the all three location getting displayed on the google map widget. But I am not able to see the data from all three things in time series chart. The chart looks very weird. Is there any way by which I can show the chart for thing whose location is pressed on google map or any other way to achieve this. Please find the mashup for your reference.

If yes, how?  

I have added a CustomClass to a datetimepicker widget. I then referenced my class in my css to make a background color change, and it wasn't working. Upon inspecting the element using my browser's inspection tools, I don't see the class anywhere in the html. If I specify a 'CustomClass' in a widget, shouldn't I see it upon inspection in the browser?   Anyone run into this before? Solutions? Or is this a know bug?

Hi, I had created two things using GenericThing and RemoteThing template. I had created "testThingGeneric" using "GenericThing" template. But when I am seeing the properties for the thing, no property is inherited from Generic thing. I had created "testThingRemote" from "RemoteThing" template. When I am seeing the properties for that thing I can see properties like "isConnected" and "lastConnection" inherited from "RemoteThing" template. But we I am seeing the "RemoteThing" template I can see it inherited those properties from "GenericThing" template. Also what does the isConnected property indicates. Please find attached screenshot for more information

  Hi everyone,   Today I’m here with a very exciting guest—Janie! Janie recently joined PTC after spending the last two years at a global professional services firm where she held many roles including that of a lead ThingWorx developer. While Janie did do some font-end development work and UI creation, the bulk of her time was spent on the backend writing services that enabled the application’s functionality. In this role, she not only wrote code herself, she also played a large part in the in-platform architectural decisions, determining the best way to utilize the platform in order to satisfy complex business requirements.   Throughout her last two years, she worked on various IIoT projects in the manufacturing industry developing a real-time asset health monitoring and OEE/production tracking application to monitor key metrics like downtime and output. For each customer engagement an assessment of IoT platforms was often undertaken in order to assess strengths and we

I have two buttons one is on and other is off. I have two images bulb on and bulb off. If on is clicked bulb on image should be displayed and if off button is clicked bulb off image should be displayed i.e the image should be replaced with first image. I want to do this only with buttons. Is there any way to do it?

I have a label chart widget that I'm manually setting the y-axis minimum, depending on the data returned. Both the 'Y Axis Zeroscale' and 'Y Axis Autoscale' are marked as false. Everything works as expected, except when the data returned is empty. In that case, I set my Y axis min to be 100, but it seems that it's auto-scaling and is instead setting the y axis to be '0' (multiple times).    Anyone run into this? Please see snippets, below.    Working as expectedY axis reads '0', repeatedly.

Hello, I'm trying to work with the planned operation time. At this plant, it is a three shift system and first shift starts at 7 am. Is there a way to work with the planned production time clock without upsetting it's need to be within one calendar day? Right now when I say something like 7am and set the duration to 23:59, it will not let me.    Also, I'm not 100% sure how the OEE quality and performance math works. Because of shifts, we reset out parts count at the end of every shift, so there will be three drops to zero in any production day. Will this be alright for the calculator?   Thanks
