Windchill Navigate allows individuals across your organization to access and engage with PLM data using role-based tasks. Tasks come in three types: View, Contribute, and Manufacturing. View tasks allow users to access information such as parts lists and documents, and Contribute tasks allow users to participate in processes such as the Change Request process. Manufacturing tasks allow users on the factory floor to access information related to fabricating products. Tasks are easy to use and you can tailor them by role, so that users from each role only see relevant tasks and relevant information within each task.

This Help Center is geared towards business administrators and application developers. Windchill Navigate runs on ThingWorx Foundation and is tightly integrated with Windchill, so some topics direct you to those Help Centers for more information.
