Question

Any ideas on how to manage InfoTable like attributes for WTParts in windchill

Version: Windchill 12.1

 

Use Case: I want to have multiple rows with different columns as value for the attribute for a WTPart. Ex PartA2300 is applicable to have 3 studs with X and Y axis information. So attribute "Arrangement" will give me three row as Stud No, X axis, Y axis as headers and then it will have 3 or 4 rows with values. Similar to infotable


Description:

This is an idea

For reference, Infotable is a Thingworx concept. These are all the options you have for attributes in Windchill:

You could do it as String but you would have to create data utilities to facilitate data entry and display if you wanted it transformed to a table. But you have to consider what you are asking could be very large which would blow out the limits on a String attribute. Is this something that you want to iterate with WTParts? Might there be a better want to store that data somewhere else and provide a mashup to display back to the Part?  I think I saw ability to create custom tabs in Windchill that link back to Thingworx mashups.

I understand the limitations based on the different attribute types which windchill offers. Achieving this with a string attribute witha  data utility is out of equation because than I would not be able to perform a search on data specific to sub attributes. 

Storing data in some other place and linking it back to WIndchill using TWX mashups will be the last resort.

I am looking if someone has faced similar situatuion and worked out an intelligent way to deal with it.
