Question

When creating a Problem Report can I limit the Select Affected Objects to WTparts only?

I want to limit users from linking directly to the CAD objects (or other files for that matter). How can I set it so only WTparts appear when adding items to the Select Affected Objects section?

Thanks in advance

You can create a Relationship Constraint for the Reported Against link and your Problem Report type (or Deviation/Waiver type) in the Type Manager.

Here are screenshots of a Windchill 11.0 example.  This has been available since Windchill 10.0

Note that only Part and the Part subtypes are not selectable/searchable as Affected Objects for the Problem Report

Jeffery,

Do you know if there is a way to set this using the windchill shell utility?  We are having issues with viewing the Relationship Constraints (still java UI in 10.2 M030).  I have logged a case, but anytime there are UI issues it takes a very long time to resolve.

Greg,

Not that I am aware of offhand.  All clients/browsers?

FYI - its in HTML in 11.0 F000
