Hi Guys,

How can we enable the Import to spreadsheet option in role-based?

Import from spreadsheet option is part of profiles and specifically for Windchill Advanced license since it involves Parts. Windchill Base license and profiles does not have this. Your question was a bit unclear so let me know if this is what you were looking for.

@avillanueva Thanks for the Response.

This User I'm using has a Windchill Advanced License, but is unable to use the "Import from Spreadsheet" functionality. Is there any possibility that this action is being restricted by ACL (Access Control).
Regards,

AJ

Its possible. If you do not see that action on the Product actions or in Folders action, it could be filtered out. You can enable jcaDebug=true to see. I just ran into one where it was restricted to non-guests and since I was in both guests and normal role, an action was blocked. There was a validator employed.
