Hi All,

I'm here trying to customize the Windchill Attributes Display (custom attributes). Is there a way that we can configure Windchill to display few, not all Object Specific attributes. How can we achieve this?

Thanks,

Chris

I have tried modifying the order of display of attributes in the details page and some grouping using the layout. Here are the highlevel steps that I followed.

  • Login as Organization Administrator
  • Browse to Organization -> Utilities -> Type and Attribute Administration
  • Select CAD Document under Manage Types
  • Select Actions -> Edit for the CAD Document type
  • Click on the Layouts tab
  • Pull down the Layouts menu and select “MoreAttributes”
  • Select the Information Page – More Attributes screen types
  • Drag and drop attributes from the “Available Attributes” section
  • Change order of display of the attributes
  • Change name of group if required
  • Click Save
  • Click Done
  • Browse to the details page of a CAD document
  • The attribute layout should now be updated to reflect the new group name and attribute ordering

Scott, Thanks for posting the video, Yet to go through it, but wish I had seen it a couple months back.

Chris, where are you trying to display the attributes and which version of Windchill are you using?

Hi Scott,

I'm using Windchill 10 M020 and would like to hide the attributes in the product information page. However, as per my understanding, if we could delete the list of attributes from Softtypes, e.g. CAD Document under "Types and Attribute Management->Manage Types->EPM Document", we possibly get what we need. I've never tested it though.

Is there any other way of hiding Object Specific (user defined) attributed in Object Information Page?

Thanks,

Wasim

I believe what you want to look at is Attribute Layouts. You can get a good overview of the Attribute Layouts on the Learning Exchange by looking at the Type Manager Attribute Layouts video.

    Can i create attributes and have them be shown in workspace columns?

    im trying to have a ECO# be shown as a column in my workspace.  and have it be editable.  where i can modify that.  also, have my drawing format reference that attribute so it fills in on the title block

    i think i can do this through attributes.  but not certain.

    currently there are no editable attributes on any of our parts in commonspace. 

    thanks
