Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: At my company, we've been working on a business specific help wiki, using SharePoint. This would include help tutorial pages on how to do common business specific tasks, using business specific language. The idea of this is to reduce the amount of time it takes to bring new users up to speed, and to reduce the amount of time spent supporting users on tasks that they don't do very often. We want to make it easy to access this wiki by including a link to it from the Windchill help menu.Description: The question I have is "how do I customise this menu to add the extra link?". Up to now we've customised the header to include the link, but it would appear that option is being removed in the future, now the ability to add banners in the UI has been added, presumably for SAAS customers. Using the new banner option in the UI covers over where the link would be in the header, making it unsuitable for us. Adding the link to the company specific help page in

Version: Windchill 13.0 Hi everyone, I found a reference in the ptc support explaining that it’s possible to retrieve Primary End Items in Windchill using REST API by filtering on WCTYPE|wt.pdmlink.PDMLinkProduct as typeId and selecting productReference. However, I’m not sure what the exact endpoint is to call in order to retrieve this data.Link: https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS271349Could someone please share a concrete example of the full REST endpoint (including base path and entity name), ideally with $select or $expand usage if applicable?

Windchill 12.0.2.13Tried approach:1. I have a custom workflow in which, through an expression, I obtain the attribute(of primary business object) that holds user value. For this user, the reporting manager(type: WTUser) is retrieved from the AD. 2. A workflow variable 'supervisor' of type WTUser is created and the WTUser value obtained in step-1 is assigned.3. In the workflow activity(Participants tab --> Variables section), the 'supervisor' variable is defined as 'Assignee'. Expectation: Task, if generated successfully, should be assigned to the 'supervisor' user. However, on the task page, the variable appears as a dropdown and the task is assigned to the admin. Workflow expression robot to assign Supervisor value:try {wt.doc.WTDocument doc = (wt.doc.WTDocument) primaryBusinessObject;ext.tools.iba.IBAUtility flsIBinst = new ext.tools.iba.IBAUtility ();String attUserValue = (String)flsIBinst .getAttributeValue(doc,"flsUserId");ext.util.ADUtil ADUtilinst = new ex

Hello, I have the below list of requirements for which I am considering to make use of Part Request object.i)  A workflow process is required where different tasks for the teams are triggered.ii) Different teams edit the Part Request and enrich the part informationiii)Teams should only be able to edit/update fields corresponding to them. Example: Mechanical team when trying to edit the Part Request, should only be able to enter values for attributes corresponding to Mechanical Department.ii)Parts should not be created in the system until the enrichment by different teams are completed But in Part Request I see limitations with layouts as it cannot be customized. As an alternative way, I am planning to add new actions under Part Request Actions tab where different teams will see an Edit-like option to enter the attributes corresponding to them. I was hoping to get a new perspective on this and how one shall go about the implementation of a custom wizard with specific

I have a scenario where there is an attribute (say Sample String1)which has a pair of json values("bat:MRF, ball:stumper, team:csk") Now I will have to display these values as "Attribute-value" pair in a custom Tab which I have created. Note: These Json values are received from another third party tool, we need to display these as attribute value pair in the custom Tab. Need guidance and help on how to achieve this.

In my environment, I have my files with the dot ".", such as "11.123.234.prt". I already have automations and integrations based on this format. Is there any way for Creo to use this name with dots or use other parameters created in Windchill to reference and work with my files? And how can I do this?This is the case of a potential client. We already knew, Creo doesn't work with dots in the file name.He already had files with dots. There are already Automations and integrations linked to this format.Can we create a new parameter in Windchill for these files and have Creo use this new parameter to reference these files?Example:The file name is "11.123.00-prt" but in Windchill there is a parameter "CREO_NAME" and Creo searches for and works with this same file by "CREO_NAME" instead of the file name "11.123.00-prt" and still keeps the original name for my system to work with it.Is it possible? How may I do it?In our environment, CAD files follow a naming convention that includes dots (e.

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.0 and Datecode with CPS M030-CPS22先前原廠顧問協助導入，有提供BIF指令，可以編輯所有程式，請問BIF指令的問題是原廠設定的嗎?是否可提單詢問?近期有其他需求，客製程式需要呼叫廠商提供的第三方元件的jar，但發現BIF時抓不到第三方元件的jar無法編譯成功，進一步排查後，發現我們對 BIF 的操作與設定方式仍不甚熟悉，因此想請問：1. 是否有關於 BIF 的操作說明文件可以提供參考？2. 若需在 BIF 中引用第三方元件，是否需要進行額外的設定或配置才能正確載入？

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.1 and Datecode with CPS 12.1.2.0The instructions in Article CS36017 do not work as expected. Using this article as a reference, I need to address a similar issue by creating a workflow variable that utilizes my custom class as its data type. This variable should display a predefined set of roles as dropdown values, allowing it to be used as a participant in another activity.For example, Activity 1 which has the variable "Role_of_activity_2" which user will select the role for next activity (Activity 2).
