Mike,
The banner for 10.x is explained in the Windchill Customization Guide 10.0, under the heading 'System Banner Alert Mesage' (pg 462). Be patient, it is a 23MB PDF download! Their example overlays the banner on top of the Windchill header. This is what PTC's internal Windchill deployment uses. Thisbanner shows itself on all pages, all the time. I've seen this implementation cause problems on some Windchill pages (though at the moment I can't remember exactly which pages).
Windchill 10.0 introduced inline messaging to providequick, momentarymessages like 'check in succeeded'. This can be used as a less intrusive banner. It is descried in the same guide under the heading 'Inline Mesaging' (pg 752).
I find the alert banner lacking because it requires directaccess to the Windchill application server (either through login to the server or a shared folder) to update the banner message. Some companies don't grant their Business Administrators access their Windchill servers.I would like to view/edit the alert banner text file through the Windchill UI as the site/organization administrator roles. Has anyone done this?
Kind Regards,
