I have a Little excel database, and I would like to read the "Status" and the "Version+Iteration" of drawing.
Also the description, maintaining some kind of Read-Only link from Windchill, I suppose that somethiing like DTI "DEsktop integration" that do an OOTB from office applications, but is possible to do ?

@Marco_Tosin shared link if for the document itself ( not data inside ) right ?
IMO Desktop integration cannot do that.
@mbuonfiglioli you need to make a report
Report can be exploited directly or linked as data source in excel.
In these TS articles you can find some advice to work with DTI.

Hi Vincent,
yes, as you wrote, DTI cannot make a list like the image from Excel file.
You could link attribute from a Windchill WTDocument and put it in his Primary Content, using DTI.
To obtain something like in Excel image you have to use a query builder report as source.
Here you can find lots of report ready to use and some useful advises on how to work with query builder.
