Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: Need the Browser / Windchill to log out the user after about 10 minutes. Need a well documented example to setup FBA using Windchill tomcat.Description: I'm trying to find a way to log a user out after 10 minutes.

Hello, we recently got a project to modify ECR workflow in windchill and one of the questions was, if release of drawings can be moved from ECN level to Design task level. I already tried to move workflow actions from ECN to Design task level, but the Expression seems to be wrong and drawing release did not happen.  Have anyone faced similar issue or is anyone able to help me figure out, what can I do to release Resulting objects in Design task level (I think Design task is called Change activity workflow in default setup)?  Thank you very much for any feedback.

Hello, I have an attribute called 'sapnumber' that I use in both wtpart and cadpart.When a user creates a part and publishes it, they initiate an ECN and start the process of publication. I would like to update my sapnumber within the ECN process using an expression. The expression will be: sapnumber = (part number + -AA). However, I am constantly receiving an error with this expression. The expression I got the error from is attached. Can you help me?

How to check recently accessed projects by users in windchill 13,2 as a ADMINISTRATOR

Reading through this article: How to create an admin user in ThingWorx Navigate when there is no Administrator user in Windchill  In my case, I already had configured to authenticate to Windchill and one of my accounts had an alternate uid of Administrator. Login was fine, no issues. I am switching to SSO on Windchill side so my assumption would be I need a matching id of Administrator which I am hesitant to do. I have added two additional accounts to the Administrators group in Thingworx so I can use those to get into Composer and administer the system. The question is, if I make Administrator in able to be used, will I lose anything or not be able to do functions in Composer? If I need to, I could reconfigure authentication back to get back in but I prefer not to use this account if I do not have to. 

A000100108, 02.5 is the latest version of the CAD model in windchill, but when the user opens file from solidworks via workgroup manager it is actually shows old file, updates made in the 02.5 version is not visible & it shows 02.1 old version file. this issue is particularly happening to one user frequently in a random manner. even “out of date” icon is also not shown by windchill, but once we remove the file from workspace & add again it works fine, but our worry is design may lead to work with old files that would be a worst scenario.How this can happened, is there any known root cause please let me know team!With regards,Kanish kumar R

I'm a brand new Windchill user, so I'm still figuring out a lot of things. In particular, is there a way to still save files to my computer instead of to my workspace? I have an assembly saved to my computer, and I edited it a bit today, and now it won't update the file on my computer, it only saves the revision to my workspace.

Version: Windchill 11.1 Use Case: I wish to officially understand, by PTC, what is the different between the 2 termsDescription: Hello,I'm new to Windchill and during the learning process and trainings by my company I noticed that that the term "Template" is delivered as something that refers to a file that has already been created and often contains completed structures and existing content that can be modified as needed while preserving the original document. These files are meant to be used as a starting point when creating similar documents, allowing for customization and slight modifications. and the term "Starter file" refers to a base file designed to serve as a working template that includes formatting, structure, and fixed content (such as logos, tables, and permanent headers) intended for reuse in new documents. The goal is to create a standardized file that everyone in the organization can use as a foundational document. Maybe it's just me but I believe that s

Version: Windchill 13.0   Use Case: There are probably several use cases for this, however mine is pretty specific. I would like to find out if there is an ability to limit the number of people in a group. Description: I work at a multi-location organization where each location has their own budget/allocation of resources. We are looking at consolidating Windchill into a single instance, however the locations need to independently manage their allocation of licenses. My thought would be to have a group assigned to each location for each license, and limit the number of people that can be added to the group based on the number of licenses allocated to that location.   Thoguhts?

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: Hello, in windchill, I saw that it is possible to call the same HW also in other contexts. However, if a parent HW contains other child HWs, is it possible to delete the child from the second context and add other children (or in general make changes) without making the same change on the parent context from which I inherited?Description: Hello, in windchill, I saw that it is possible to call the same HW also in other contexts.

Is there a way to search all structures/assemblies in Windchill to see where both Part A and Part B are used? Where used only take a single part as input. I would like a Where Used that can take multiple parts as inputs.
