Handling Text Values from SiliconExpert in Windchill Predefined Lists

[AB_13299650]

Version: Windchill 13.0

Use Case: How does the SiliconExpert Synch extension handle mapping when the field in Windchill is a list with predefined values, and the corresponding field in SiliconExpert contains text? Does the mapping process match the text to the predefined values in Windchill, or is there another method used?

Description:

Specifically, if there is a field like REACH in both Windchill and SiliconExpert, and I map and synchronize this field, will the value from SiliconExpert be written exactly the same way in Windchill?

Additionally, what happens if the field in Windchill is a list with predefined values, and the value in SiliconExpert is text? How does the mapping process handle this scenario?

Hi @AB_13299650 

Thank you for your question. 

Your post appears well documented but has not yet received any response. I am replying to raise awareness. Hopefully, another community member will be able to help.

Also, feel free to add any additional information you think might be relevant. For example:

• What are the predefined values in Windchill for the field you are mapping (e.g., REACH)?
• What kind of text values are you receiving from SiliconExpert for the corresponding field?
• How do you currently handle cases where the text from SiliconExpert does not match any predefined values in Windchill?

It sometimes helps to have screenshots to better understand what you are trying to do.

Best regards,
