Data Utility for attribute as a column in a Table View

[MV_10441462]

Hi All

I want to configure a Custom Data Utility to populate the value for an attribute that will be displayed as a column in a Table View.

I tried the getDataValue() and getPlainDataValue() methods of DefaultDataUtility and AttributesTableDataUtility but they are not getting triggered when the Table View with the Attribute column is rendered. It works only when the attribute is placed in a Layout.

Any suggestion on how to achieve the requirement?

Hi Ajith

I want the attribute column(Test Attr) in Object List Table of Workspaces.

And I do not want to set Default Value, the value will be calculated using a DataUtility.

Hello,

So the workspace table is not designed with MVC. Simplest way to know the tables designed with MVC is to append &jcaDebug=true at the end of the URL. You will see a lot of lady bugs. 

Since workspace table is not designed with mvc , data utility will not  work on that table. 

Thanks and Regards

Hi Ajith 

Thank you for letting me know this. Any suggested workaround?

My requirement is to display the File Size of the PrimaryContent of an EPMDocument as value for the attribute.

Hello,

It is possible to achieve this customization in folder browser or search result table. 

You can also take a look at Windchill extension already available https://windchill-extensions.ptc.com/get-view?wex-id=com.wincomplm.wex-cadquick.release&wc-version=WIND112 . This extension helps to download the CAD content. Instead of download you need to calculate the filesize and show the same.

Thanks and Regards

Hi @MV_10441462 

How do you assign the datautility to the attribute? 

Usually If I want data utility is used everywhere I set the configuration in service.properties

selector is always the internal ID of the IBA attribute

xconf example>

<Service context="default" name="com.ptc.core.components.descriptor.DataUtility"
targetFile="codebase/service.properties">
 <Option cardinality="duplicate" order="1" overridable="true"
requestor="java.lang.Object"
selector="ORG_NAME"
serviceClass="cz.ext.OrgDataUtility.NameDataUtility"/>

PS: workspace table is not easy to customize but it is possible.

Hi @HelesicPetr 

I tried both components.dataUtilities.properties and service.properties. Still not getting triggered when the Object List Table is rendered.

Hi @MV_10441462 

As I see, you want to use the Datautility in the workspace.

You can't.
