Background
Windchill provides an attribute panel component that can be used to display attributes of a Windchill object. Typically, these are used to display attributes in read-only mode on object info pages or in edit mode in wizards. Attribute panels can be configured to be a simple list of name:value pairs or they can be configured to have a more complex layout with:
A border
Attribute groups, each with a title and expand-collapse capability
Multiple columns
The former will be referred to in this document as “simple attribute panels” and the latter as “advanced attribute panels.”

The advanced panel layout features are new for Windchill Release 10.0. Previously, only simple attribute panels, formerly called property panels, were used:
Also, prior to Windchill Release 10.0, object attributes were sometimes displayed in table format rather than in panels:
The attribute table format is no longer used in Windchill 10.0, although customizations using the attribute table component will continue to work.
