What is the use of AvailableAttributes.xml file?

Best answer by Fadel

it is not always the case OOTB, and  for sure custom modeled attributes need to be added Manually https://support.ptc.com/help/wnc/r12.1.1.0/en/index.html#page/Windchill_Help_Center/customization/WCCG_UICust_PresentInfoUI_AddCustomModelAtt.html 

Generally if we notice that an attribute is not available while creating/editing a a table view , we should look into that file .

PS other modules may have their own file i.e. MPMLink related table views setting is done in MPMLink-AvailableAttributes.xml

in that file you can define any additional attributes that need to be exposed to table views for a given type

Hi @Fadel,

 

But by default all the attributes will be available right?
