Add to Workspace from ECN Resulting Objects table

[kirk.wemple]

Saw a PTC demo on Windchill 10 last week. When they got to the change management portion of the demo, we asked if Add to Workspace button in the Resulting Objects table had been finally added. It hadn't. This is something we requested in release 8 two years ago and nothing has been done. We have filed an enhancement request for this and have asked PTC sales/technical representatives repeatedly if it could be added. I'm sure we are not the only ones who have asked for this. Can anyone give any insight as to why this might be so difficult to integrate into the change management module?

Yes, It would be a great thing to add there. Maybe Windchill 47.

My users here would love this feature as well. Makes a whole lot of sense to me.

For those who try, the simple solution of adding the action to the model
does not work

<model name="changeTask.resultingItems.table.view">

<description>Toolbar actions for the resulting objects table for
the change task info page</description>

<action name="list_copy" type="object"/">

<action name="WFADDTOWORKSPACE" type="folder"/">

<action name="launchMassChange" type="massChange"/">

<action name="setEffectivity" type="effectivity"/">

<action name="viewEffectivity" type="effectivity"/">

<action name="separator" type="separator"/">

<action name="edit" type="changeTask"/">

</model>

I simply copied from the search results actionmodel. I suspect there is
some validation that goes on which disables the toolbar action. More
digging needed but it should be just this simple.

I opened a call on this back in Jan '10



This was my answer



Hi Steve,

Appreciate your patience on this.

As per R&D this action first needs to be enabled from
DownloadActionDelegate.java class.

As this class is currently unsupported and PTC TS does not support this kind
of customization currently there is no way to add "Add to Workspace" action
for resulting objects table.

I would request you to file enhancement request so that product management
may consider this in future release of windchill.

I will go ahead and mark this call as resolved, please feel free to reply if
you have any concerns.
