Site Utilities
Site > Utilities displays the utilities available for performing administrative actions that affect the entire Windchill solution. The utilities links on Site > Utilities launch the utilities in the site context; objects that are created at the site level are stored at the site level.
The following tables list the utilities that may be available from the Utilities page. The utilities that are available depend on what you have installed.
The utilities are grouped according to whether they are system administration, business administration, or auditing administration utilities.
