Question

Add button on Folder Contents

Hello everyone, I'm using Windchill 13.1.4.0 Rev 01 (a virtual machine downloaded from the PTC website). I'd like to create a button (with an icon) to insert into the Windchill Contents folder so that clicking the button modifies an attribute of the selected row. The figure below shows the panel where I'd like to insert the button. 

I tried adding an action in custom-actions.xml and custom-actionModels.xml, but nothing appears. Any suggestions?

Hi ​@dbologna,

Is your custom action displaying in the Actions drop-down?
If not, you may need to check your custom-actions.xml and custom-actionModels.xml configurations.
For a shortcut button to be displayed for an action, include the shortcut="true" parameter in the action model file.
<action name="create" type="document" shortcut="true" />
