Windchill Workgroup Manager Toolkit Toolkit API enables you to programmatically (automatically) change the values of the Number, Name, and Model Name attributes of an object in the workspace.

Windchill Workgroup Manager Toolkit allows you to rename an object in the workspace, if the object has never been checkedin to Windchill.
