Hello @Matteo_1987

You can add your own view by LoadFromFile

You just need to correct Admin user information in a attached xml file.

Define columns as needed. IBA values or system attributes.

Example how the column name should be defined in a xml load file you need to export some view from other tables where you can modify views.

IBA definition is easier then system atribs you just use internal names.

Last thing is to load the xml file to Windchill by the windchill shell and the loadfromfile utility

windchill wt.load.LoadFromFile -u user-p pass -d TAG-TableViewDescriptor-0.xml

Hope this can help

Be sure to test it on a test server and also backup a system before any load .:D.

Best Regards

You need to overwrite the OOTB table view.

com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.object.WhereUsedTableView

but it's not supported...

We added the State column in 11.2.1. The Where Used table is not a straightforward table as others, as it has two distinct modes - the Latest and All Revisions. Latest is most like a normal table view, however in All Revisions all matching Revisions (latest on that revision) are show per row. The challenge with the All Revisions view is finding an elegant way to show related attributes when multiple versions are seen in a readable and navigable format (eg still easily expand to parents / children without overwhelming the UI)

In the future we do plan to look at further attribute support for the Latest View. For the All Versions we held some UX sessions with users and are still considering potential paths. No current release timeline for this work at this time.
