Enable Add/Remove of CAD Objects from a Windchill Subscription

Enable Add/Remove of CAD Objects from a Windchill Subscription

I'm currently using subsciptions to receive email notification when cad objects change or there is a failed publish.  The current edit capability of subscriptions does not allow for new CAD objects to be added or removed to the current subscription.  I have the following use cases where this enhancement would provide useful.

  1. Ten assemblies have been identified that need updated by engineering with a subscription set up to notify when the object changes. After one engineer checks out one assembly, I follow up with the engineer to ensure it gets repaired.  After the one assembly gets repaired, I want to REMOVE the cad object from the subscription list.
  2. 100 un-related assemblies are used to organize the cad structure of a large assembly.  These 100 assemblies are included in a subscription.  After a couple weeks, a new assembly is identified as missing or created for the cad structure.  I need to be able to ADD the assembly to the current subscription. 

The picture below shows 9 "org-only" subscriptions.  These subscriptions contain approximately 1000 objects.  It's very tedious to manage them in seperate lists to know whether all the appropirate cad objects are indeed included in a subscription.
