Hello,

According to the help topic that describes actions on the Tasks table, when you choose Edit and Export to Excel, as shown in the screen capture above, only the tasks for which you have modify privileges will be included in the spreadsheet. If you select Export to Excel, all action items displayed are available for download. Does that information help to address your question?

Regards,

Jane

Unfortunetly, Edit and Export to Excel and Export to Excel result in the same thing.

These actions are only supported with create and edit of Action Items.

If the goal for the export is for a reporting, my company has developed some pretty slick reporting methods that can basically pull anything in the Windchill database.  We are currently in beta-testing with our current customers, but the results are looking very promising.  We can produce "data-intensive" excel-type formats for manipulation as well as clean-cut PDF style read-only formats for higher-level consumption as well.

If Windchill users are looking to pull this report on-demand, you might be able to use QueryBuilder to accomplish what you are looking for.  I have a lot of experience there and would be happy to work with you on this path to a solution too.

If you are interested, please send me a direct message at robert.sindelar@eccellent.com.
