Select-able report for CN types

We have several sub-type Change Notices

 

I created a report that shows me all the currently open CN's but using the top-level Change Notices. This report shows who the current assignee is and when it was assigned to them.

 

I have a request from one of my users that asked if all the CN sub-types ("ECN Type" shown below) could be shown in the criteria page when creating the report and have it so the user can select which CN's to report on.

I looked at it but couldn't figure out how to make that happen. Does anyone know how to do that?

In 10.2 there was a way to do this in the arguments of the select tab. See here: https://support.ptc.com/cs/help/windchill_hc/wc102_hc/

I haven't tried this yet on 11.1. But I imagine it might be similar to the conversion of showing the Branch Identifier to display the Information Page icon.

Found it.  It works the same, but this option isn't listed in the 11.1 help anywhere that I can find.  But if you follow the concept from the 10.2 help, regarding the "Type Definition Reference.Key.Branch ID" and the method for showing the information page icon in the 11.1 help it works.  See images.

Unfortunately, we are not using WTParts so that is not available for me.

It looks like I cannot do this since we don't use WTParts and that is where the "Type Definition Reference.Key.Branch ID" is?  But I can't even add WTParts to the Tables page.

Thank you for trying to help.

The WTpart is listed as just "Part" in the tables menu.  If you're trying to do this for change notices  you should have this table in your query design:

Add the reportable item "Type Definition Reference.Key.Branch ID" to the Select tab from this table object.

Maybe I should have it but I don't.
