Hello Vuforia Studio community!
This past week the PTC user AR/VR Technical community and Vuforia product management discussed visualization and management of your organizations experience server. The Product Management team would like share a Vuforia Studio experience developed to help you manage the experiences you've published. Import and publish this experience as you would with any other project. Next use your device to get information about the experiences published. The experience can be used to unpublish unnecessary experiences.
Attached are the project files
Some helpful tips:
Icon | Meaning |
The device the experience is published for | |
The experience requires authentication | |
The experience is available for download |
Feel free to comment with your feedback and thoughts!

Subject of this post does not do justice to the significance of this. This is a massive improvement over having to dig stuff up in Postman or CURL. This is really elegant and useful.
Only improvement I can think of is a way to sort the data grid by a column. In my use I intend to only ever have on experience per Thingmark which doesn't always happen and if I could sort by the Thingmark column this would be easy to spot.
Glad you think this is an improvement and thanks for sharing your feedback! This is helpful for the product team as in defining how experiences are managed

It seems that this Manager no longer works with the latest update to Vuforia. Is there an update to the indispensable Studio Experience Manager coming soon, hopefully?
Hi Ike@ACE , thanks for reporting this issue!
yes currently this seems not to work, but I do not believe that the experience manger has an implementation issue , I believe that the current issue is based on an issue of the data Grid widget (and possibly also the repeater) which lead to the incorrect wrong display in the Experience Manger. So this what was reported in https://community.ptc.com/t5/Vuforia-Studio/Data-Grid-Widget-Appears-to-not-be-working/m-p/869073#M11631
I reported some time ago this issue to PTC R&D team as Jira VTS-1469. and fix is ready and need to be released soon. In the post mentioned above I will announce when the fix is release, so I am sure that this also will be solved with this.
fix verified Studio 9.11.1263.0 (2D Widget) and 9.11.0.1302 (3D Widget). - so I think , here is the first item related to the Experience Manager
Has this been confirmed to work? I just tried this today in both preview mode and on my phone and it does not seem to be working.
Just so you're aware, I was told to never publish the Studio Experience Manager. So, you might run into a problem there. Once I update Vuforia Studio - which I have been putting off because of issues with my Microsoft work account not allowing me to go into the Store; I really do not like this latest update to the VS update system - I'll let you know if it worked for me, at the very least
First, it was easier than I expected to do the update. The must have streamlined the process a lot more since the last time I tried it. Thank goodness.
Second, once I installed the update, the Studio Experience Manager that I had installed worked like a charm.
Hi @mmarkenson
Thank you providing the complete zip file for managing the Studio Experience. I could not understand how you created a thing and bind it to the data grid in the studio. But it is still working in my studio.
I wanted to add the few columns in the data grid with published user information (publishedBy) as well as published date (publishedData) in addition to the grid provided in this sample .
How to add the additional information within the grid ? Please see the attachment for the details. Is creating a thing and binding its properties is the only way to do this, I will appreciate if you could provide explanation in details to do this also.
Thanking You.
Hi @Sandy_Gunner ,
because some time ago I receive a question about that post I see that it is sinse longer time not answered. So try to proivide here some answer.
The quesiton is how to add information in additional field.
So 2 points.
$http.get('/ExperienceService/content/projects/', { ...
e. g. console.warn( app.mdl.experienceService.svc.getProjects.data) to print the info to the preview chorme debugging consoel Cntrl+Shift+Iso we can see that e.g. there also different informaiton what we can also see e.g. the understructure publishData what we can access then to display e.g. the following
So that filed setting could be then - something like that:
"item.publishData.projectSize + ',' +item.publishData.publishedBy + ',' +item.publishData.publishedData"
\VuforiaStudio\Projects\Experience_Manager-AddFields\src\phone\components\Home.json
and copy the field Experiences://.....

copy and past in the Home.js and change to new values the names of widget Id widget name and databind-id --> the values /names should be not used in the Home.json,

Thanks a lot for the detailed explanation.
However, I was able to achieve what I wanted a long time ago by modifying the existing project.
