Context
A context is a generic name for the defined projects, programs, products, or libraries within which users work, and for the defined organizations and the site within which administrators work. For example, if a user navigates to a folder within the Bike Design project and creates a new document, that document is managed in the context of the Bike Design project.
The context provides the framework from which user actions are executed. Each context can establish the following:
The context structure, which includes the default domains and folders
The default forum topics and notebook folders
Context participation, which includes the available roles, teams, and groups
Data types, templates, and rules
Default life cycle and workflow templates
Project, program, product, and library contexts are known as application contexts. The other contexts available to administrators are the site and organization contexts.
The site context is created when your Windchill solution is installed.
When an organization context is created, an organization administrator is defined and the administrator decides who can create application contexts.
