Customize View List

[SS_10622387]

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.2 and Datecode with CPS 11.2.0.0

Customize View List: Where Used
We have multiple views, we would like to hide or delete some of the views to avoid confusion

This article indicates that customization is not supported and tables are not extendable. They do offer a solution using query builder.

Actually there is a trick how to get to a Customize View List: Where used. 

You have to create correct URL with your Windchill URL address. The URL has to contains correct TableId=whereUsed.view

http://YOURserverADDRESS/Windchill/servlet/WindchillAuthGW/wt.enterprise.URLProcessor/URLTemplateAction?TableId=whereUsed.view&Action=HtmlcompTableViewManager

Then you can get to the wizard where you can export the view with actual definition.

Attention: Never really never modify OOTB system views in this table !!!

Hope this can help

You can add your own view by LoadFromFile

You just need to correct Admin user information in a attached xml file.

Define columns as needed. IBA values or system attributes.

Example how the column name should be defined in a xml load file you need to export some view from other tables where you can modify views. 

IBA definition is easier then system atribs you just use internal names.

Last thing is to load the xml file to Windchill by the windchill shell and the loadfromfile utility

windchill wt.load.LoadFromFile -u user-p pass -d TAG-TableViewDescriptor-0.xml

Hope this can help

Be sure to test it on a test server and also backup a system before any load .:D.
