Tighter integration of AE browser with Windchill SIM

Tighter integration of AE browser with Windchill SIM

We're on a custom DTD, meaning we can't use the resource manager. We have to use the Object > Browse feature. The usability and the integration with Windchill is currenlty very limited. Some suggestions:

  • Grey out buttons that aren't allowed by Windchill. Released content can't be checked-out for instance. This isn't clear in this interface. The button is still clickable.
  • Add columns to this view, e.g. version, lifecyle state, check-in status, ...
  • Filters: e.g. per object type, state, featured in workspace, ...

 

In general, I would expect a better view of the local/serverside workspace. The embedded browser from Creo isn't the best solution, but it's better than this browser.

Thanks for this feedback! We'll review and see if there are some UX improvements that can be made.

We agree that it would be good to continue to provide a tighter integration with Windchill.

In the version of Arbortext that is due out in the Fall we are hoping to enhance the CMS Browser so that the checkout operation will not be enabled if it is disallowed on the Windchill side.  For example, if the document is in the Released state and checkout is not allowed, then the checkout will be disabled.
