Customizing the Asset Filter List

Hi all,

 

I customized the filter option in the asset advisor by the following article and implemented all necessary bindings.

https://support.ptc.com/help/thingworx_apps/r8.5/en/#page/thingworx_apps%2FThingWorxAppsCust%2Fcustomizing_the_asset_list_filtering.html%23

 

The filter does work with serialNumber and location,  but i want to use my own new properties (e.g. equipmentNumber). Can you help me how to implement the filter option with different properties ? 

 

 thanks!

Hi @Iker  @ninja 

 

At the moment, we don’t support filtering of Assets using custom properties (the ones that added to equipment directly or indirectly and do not shown in the AssetDataShape), It is an enhancement will be implemented  in future release of product .

 

The temporary solution for this is a hack and we don’t encourage it, adding the new properties in the DataShape by calling DataShapes["PTC.SCA.SCO.AssetDataShape"].AddFieldDefinition in a custom service.

 

Thanks

Abhishek

Hi @ninja 

The customized filter option in the asset advisor , the filter works only with the properties  which are listed in Filed definition of PTC.SCA.SCO.AssetDataShape; however the DataShape is non-editable so you can't add your own new properties to the PTC.SCA.SCO.AssetDataShape.  I am working on this with R&D team on this i will keep you posted on this.

 

 

Thanks

Abhishek
