Editing Context Data Types and Attributes

You can use the Type and Attribute Management utility from Site Utilities and

Organizations Utilities to view and edit data types and attributes.

During the installation process, an organization participant (the organization object) is created and associated with the site context. Any types owned by this organization participant are available to all organizations.

Each organization participant has an internet domain that is used to identify the organization contexts for subtypes and attributes. When subtypes and attributes are created, Windchill provides a suggested prefix for the name of the new type or attribute. The suggested prefix is based on the context from which the

utility is launched. The suggested prefix is the reverse of the internet domain for the owning organization participant of the organization context. For example, an organization with the internet domain, acme.com would suggest the prefix, com.acme.

For more information, see the help available from the Type and Attribute Management utility.

Windchill provides the following types of templates (not all types of templates are available from all Windchill solutions):
