Group Information Page

The group information page is a collection point for information related to the group. It contains attribute information about a group and displays the participants that are members of the group in a Members table and the groups to which the group is a member in a Groups table.

The information page of a group is accessed by clicking the information icon

. The information page can be accessed from any table that displays a row containing the group for which you want to view information.

Information pages contain a list of applicable actions in a menu in the upper left corner of the page. See Common Actions for a list of common actions available in Windchill. The availability of these actions depends on the status of the group, as well as your access to it. For more information about status indicators, see Object Status.
