When using any app (Example: View Drawing) when launched, the system takes you to the search page. How do I get the cursor to automatically be in the search bar. I want users to be able to start typing right away when they see the search bar, no need to click in it before typing.  Not a coder, but I believe this is something to do with autofocus?

Hi Developers,   I'm working on ThingWorx 8.0.1 with Navigate View 1.5.0. I was able to perform basic RESTOperations such as fetching a NONCE Token from a Service, Creating a part,....   I had to use the URI's that were exposed from windchill for these services. I'm a novice in REST services if there is any document or tutorials which give step by step procedure to create RESTful web services in Windchill side and use the same in Thingworx it would be helpful.   Thanks and Regards, Saran

Hi   Trying to install Navigate 1.6. When accessing ThingWorx with the configuration so far, request the user certificate to Windchill and proceed to LandingPageAccessAppMashup. However, the design data can not be loaded. I installed Windchill in a state where HTTPS configuration was not completed. The guide says that Windchill's SSL (understood as HTTPS configuration) configuration is essential for Navigate installation. Therefore, we configured Windchill as HTTPS with a self-signed certificate for resolution. I then reset the ptc-windchill-intergraion-connector. Previously, we set the base URL to http: // <hostID> / Windchill. At that time, ValidateConnection returned success. I changed it to https: // <hostID> / Windchill / sslClientAuth when I set it up newly. We also added the ssl keystore path and password to ptc-winndchill-intergration-connector-proxy. The path is <PTC_Windchill> / java / lib / security / cacerts. However, ValidateConnetion returns a failu

Hello, Does anybody has any experience getting data from Teamcenter or another PLM tool and expose data in Thingworx Navigate? How do you recomend would be the best approach to do that? Thanks,Sal

Hi Developers,   We are working on custom apps with the Navigate Extension. We're successful in creating the apps and adding them to the landing page of the Administrator. We've added seven apps to the landing page and they are visible for the Administrator. But when we're trying to give the visibility for non-admin user groups, there are only five apps available in the permission screen of the administrator. When we removed one custom app, then a new app is available in the permission screen. Is there anyway to show all the custom apps in the permission screen?   Thanks and Regards, SaranKarthick K R 

Hello everyone. I have experience installing and customizing Windchill, but I am new to Navigate and thingworx installation. After refering software matrices, I came to conclusion that Postgre and H2 are the only databases supported for navigate installation. But in my client location they are having below mention servers, so how should I tackle below mentioned problems/ address questions? Any reply regarding the subject would be of great importance.    Question 1: Is it possible to install PTC navigate 1.5 and Thingworx 8.0.1 when there is a windows server 2012 and MSSQL 2016 standard database in production environment? If it is possible how should it be done?  (Requesting for documents and useful links)   Question 2: Is it possible to install PTC navigate 1.5 and Thingworx 8.0.1 when there is a windows server 2008 and Oracle 11g database in test environment? If Yes,  how should it be done?  (Requesting for documents and useful links) &nbsp

I get below error.   "The requested URL /sslClientAuth/servlet/rest/search/objects was not found on this server". Below is my code snippet.    var params = {type: 'GET',url: me.getRestUrl() + "/search/objects",queryParams: {'$select': properties,'$filter': "number eq '" + number + "'",'navigationCriteria': navigationCriteria,'typeId': selectedTypeId}}; var jsonResult = me.processJSONRequest(params);   can anyone please let me know what's wrong with the code?   Thanks, RPathan

Hello community,   So I have two questions regarding the Navigate / Windchill Extension matter. PTC Navigate 1.3, Thingworx 7.1. When I'm gathering all objects of specific type, e.g. all libraries using Windchill REST API, it returns me a set with libraries that are invisible for my user in Windchill - can it be a bug? What is the set of attributes available to be used in the OData $filter parameter? Because it work e.g. for containerReference, but it does not work for versionInfo.identifier.versionId. I'd like to filter WTDocuments by custom attribute and it seems to be not possible?   Any help appreciated. Regards, J.

Hi @all,   i have the following Problem that you can see on the Picture. In the PartListAccessAppMashup i have add some parameter.     What am I doing wrong ?   Thanks for any answer

Hello,   I'm struggling to configure Navigate to only return latest released objects, and hoping someone here knows a solution. I'm using a Saved Search in Windchill with the following criteria:   Iteration = Latest Revision = Latest State = Released   Running this search in Windchill with input of "*TEST*" returns 4 files all latest released which is correct. The same search in Navigate however, results in 7 files including some (not all) older versions of the 4 files. Expectations are that I get the same search results when using the exact same input and Saved Search between Windchill and Navigate.   What's odd is that, if I run a search in Navigate without any wildcards, using the exact Number or Name, then I get the correct result, the latest released file. Seems like older versions are included in the search result when using a wildcard character and/or when there's more than one file that matches criteria. I have attached pptx file that shows the setup and oth

hi guys,I am not able to use 2 or more creo view widgets in single page.It is replacing the previous one. 

In Thingworx Navigate (logged in as admin), I have gone into 'View Part Structure Tailoring' and added 'Quantity' in to the selected attributes.   On viewing the Part Structure Tile and searching for a part number, I can see the Quantity attribute header in the table but no value appears under it. How do I get the values to show?   Thanks in Advance

I'm creating a Thingworx Navigate custom app and need to pass Mashup Parameters to a custom Search mashup using a url. The approach I'm trying to take is similar to what's done by PTC's OOTB Thingworx Navigate Apps... so, once my custom app is selected in the Thingworx Navigate "home page", it would pass some parameters to a Search Mashup.   The issue is that (I think) I can not use the "Navigation" widget for that because the Search Mashup is not called from another "mashup" that I own... it's called from the LandingPageAccessAppMashup (the "home page" of the Thingworx Navigate Apps).
