The following entities are available out-of-the-box in ThingWorx Composer:

PTC-PLM
• PTC-PLM:TRACELINKS model tag is used to tag all entities available in the extension. For more information, see Tags in the ThingWorx Platform Help Center.
• PTC-PLM: TRACELINKS-DPT-EXTENSION-PROPERTIES model tag, by default, enables the Windchill+ DPT extension to use the DPTExtensionPropertiesConfigThing.
• PTC-PLM:TRACELINKS-OSLC-QUERY-SEARCH model tag, when added to the configuration Thing, uses the external resource search picker to display the external OSLC resource. When this tag is not added, the selection dialog box displays the external OSLC resource.
* 
When PTC-PLM:TRACELINKS-OSLC-QUERY-SEARCH and PTC-PLM:TRACELINKS ROOT SELECTION DIALOG tags are added for an OSLC configuration Thing, the PTC-PLM:TRACELINKS ROOT SELECTION DIALOG tag is ignored.
