Searching for the object type "Link"

[STEVEG]

We are looking at using the "Link" object type in PDMLink.  The problem is you cannot search for it.  That is not in the list of objects to search against.

I checked the Site preference All Applicable Object Types List and it's not even listed there.

What good is the Link type if you can't search for it?  Can it be added to the searchableTypes.properites file?  And if so what needs to be added?

Hi Steve,

Yes, you can add the type to the searchableTypes.properties file.

See https://support.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?n=CS128429 for more information.

Fantastic.  Thank you Lori.  Now I have to find the name of the type.

Easy way to figure that out is to look at the URL for one of the link object details pages.

Example:

http://myserver.ptc.com/Windchill/app/#ptc1/tcomp/infoPage?oid=OR%3Awt.workflow.notebook.FolderedBookmark%3A441390&ContainerOid=OR%3Awt.pdmlink.PDMLinkProduct%3A165019&u8=1

Ah ha.  Thank you again.

Is that the Object Link?
