Question

Windchill Workgroup Manager Customization

Version: Windchill 13.0

 

Use Case: I want to give the user the possibility to access directly sharepoint info pages to gain information and/or launch external applications etc.


Description:

Is there a possibility to customize the UI of the Workgroup Manager such as adding a TAB or RIBBON with ICONS as you can do in PTC Creo?
Other idea is to have the possibility to add more browser tabs with different (home) pages.
I have looked in the ini file but it seems that this is very limited.
Any idea or suggestion?

To explain it a little bit more:

The TOP ribbon contains the dropdown menus: FILE  VIEW GO etc.
Just below it there are the TABS: MAIN HOME etc.
Is it possible to customize these?
I have seen already that it is possible to add more tabs:

But I can not find a possibility to add icons or start commands to these additional TABS or toolbars.

Beside of the above I have seen that it is possible to open several Windows:

But when you arrange that you are loosing this when you close the application and start it again.

I hope this is clarifying I little bit where I am looking for.

Bert

Hi @bbusschers 

I'm not sure if there is a simple configuration of the menu in WGM, I've never needed it..

You can check if a WGM Toolkit would be a way how to customize the WGM
