Equipment Tab for Work Definitions
The Equipment tab for a work definition displays the equipment which is linked to the work definition that was selected for viewing from the Work Definitions page.
Click Link to add linked equipment to the work definition. Select a row and click Unlink to remove linked equipment from the work definition. By default, sites and lines are the only equipment types which can be linked to a top-level work definition. The equipment types which are allowed to be linked to top-level work definitions can be customized by overriding the GetAllowedEquipmentTypeForWorkDefinition service.
 | The equipment information is only checked when the link is created. If equipment is updated after it has been linked to the work definition, that update is not synchronized to the information on the work definition. |
Mashups and Widgets
The PTC.Factory.Demo.WorkDefinition.EquipmentMashup mashup defines the display of the Equipment tab for a work definition. This mashup uses the following widgets:
• Multiple Button widgets:
◦ For the Link button, which launches the LINK EQUIPMENT window.
◦ For the Unlink button. This button is enabled when a row in the table is selected, and disabled when no row is selected.
• A Data Filter widget which filters the list based on the selected values.
• An Infotable Selector widget. When no row is selected in the table, or there is no linked equipment, this widget disables the Unlink button.
• A Grid Advanced widget, listing all equipment that is linked to the work definition.
