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.
