Windchill Customization

We've developed a customization that uses the lightbox (yellow message banner) that executes on the user's home tab to relay actionable information. Each time the page is refreshed, the message appears but would not like to throttle that message to be periodic. Some of our thoughts were: Accessing the user's session creation and spacing out execution based on that time. Accessing the user's login time and doing same thing. Creating a singleton which keeps track of the user's last execution time limiting based on some timer. For the last option, how would that work across multiple method servers? Would each MS having its own JVM, have its own copy of the singleton? Not a huge issue but is there a system wide solution? Example solution would be to display a message no more than once every two hours. Open to any other solutions.

Is it possible to use an attribute connected to a CREO parameter in Windchill that reads both string and integer? If not, is there an easy way to convert the parameter type to string or integer inside the model in CREO?   

I would like to know what are the major impacts of giving a freehand to end users to skip revisions.1)Is there performance impacts in Windchill.2)Are there any downstream impacts due to the skipped revision sequence.3)What are the impacts on the search engine of Windchill  

I want to customize the version synchronizations for the part, cad and drawing data we use in windchill. I don't want to do this manually. Is it possible to create a flow for this process and take part data codes from users in this flow and synchronize these codes to the most current version in the workflow? If we do the version synchronization process in the workflow, will there be a problem in connecting the data with each other?  

I need to make a new update for the Promotion request process. After users submit WTParts to SAP, they draw their drawings, which causes confusion.For this situation,I defined an attribute called "DRWPART" in WTPart. When DRWPART value is selected as YES, we indicate that there is or will be found a DRW data belonging to WTPart.I want to check codes with DRWPART value of YES.When the DRW data is not added in the promotion of these codes, I want the user to be assigned a task and the process to proceed without adding the DRW data. How can I control this?

 We set two GroupConfigs in an AttributePanelConfig as below: ComponentConfigFactory factory = getComponentConfigFactory();AttributePanelConfig attrPanelConfig = factory.newAttributePanelConfig();ResourceBundle bundle = ResourceBundle.getBundle(bundleBasename, locale);// First group list layout GroupConfig groupConfig = factory.newGroupConfig("documentFilterGroup", bundle.getString(createSendJobForTFE.FILTER_DOCUMENTS), 3);...attrPanelConfig.addComponent(groupConfig); //Second group list layoutGroupConfig groupConfig2 = factory.newGroupConfig("documentFilterGroup", bundle.getString(createSendJobForTFE_SELECT_DOCUMENTS), 3);..attrPanelConfig.addComponent(groupConfig2); Once these are set, the layouts are seen one below the another. How can I set the layouts (groupConfig and groupConfig2) side by side in the same line? Thanks

Hello PTC Community,I'm exploring Windchill and very desperate to know dashboard customization.Can we create our own dashboard with specific requirement (Mix of visualization & tables)? Here is the scenario.I'm working on a self  paced project and wanted to create my own dashboard which should have both data visualization (5 unique Tabs on top of the page) and a table below the visualization with 5 columns.  If I wanted to choose specific tab, relevant data has to be pulled out from different objects & it should display in the table.I have attached a rough layout for above scenario.I know it's very difficult and not that easy for me. But I need your guidance to do this job. Anyone who can suggest me where & how to start, really appreciated.I'm working on Windchill 12.0 versionBig Thanks.... 🙂

Is it possible to create a package that contains only a specific document softtype (reference documents).What I'm trying to achieve is the following:Select a WT-partAdd to packageCreate new custom package (custom package type is already set-up)Then the collector should only add reference documents (incl. reference documents for all dependents) but not described by documentsI could achieve this by filtering during the collector stage using the type filter, but I'm looking for a way to achieve this as a default setting, so that when the custom package-type is selected only that specific softtype of documents is included as content.I tried working with the package type-based properties, but couldn't get that to work, because the content-role-type for both reference and described-by documents is Primary.
