Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: We have different subtypes for parts, and each subtype has a custom icon. The custom icons are already configured. Many of these subtypes can be an end item. When "end item" is true on the part, we want to add a glyph to the custom icon.Description: I am able to create a custom IconDelegate following this documentation: https://support.ptc.com/help/windchill/r12.1.2.0/it/index.html#page/Windchill_Help_Center/customization/WCCG_UICust_PresentInfoUI_IconDelegates.html But I am not sure how to add more glyphs/adornments. I understand there is the IconCache cache with _addGlyphs() and mergeImages(), but I don't know what is the best way to add another glyph to the class. Has anyone done this before?My workaround would be to create another set of custom icons for each subtype, to be assigned when they are end items.

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

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
