External Resource Search Picker
The external resource search picker user interface is divided into two panes.
• Filter Criteria—Displays Windchill attributes that are used as a filter criterion to determine the list of external resources displayed in the Search Result Table. The Windchill attributes are displayed based on the mapping of Windchill attributes, with the filterable attributes exposed by OSLC servers. The mapping is specified in the AttributeMapping table of the OSLCResourceShapeConfigTable in ThingWorx Composer. The following image contains the Filter Criteria pane that is available out of the box for Windchill Modeler.
The value of the comparison operator depends on the OSLC attribute data type.
Comparison Operator | OSLC Attribute Data Type |
|---|---|
= | String , boolean, integer, decimal, float, double, and dateTime, or XML Literal |
≠ | String , boolean, integer, decimal, float, double, and dateTime, or XML Literal |
< | Integer, decimal, float, double, and dateTime |
> | Integer, decimal, float, double, and dateTime |
<= | Integer, decimal, float, double, and dateTime |
>= | Integer, decimal, float, double, and dateTime |
Click Search to search for external resources based on the specified filter criteria. Click Clear to clear the fields in this pane.
• Search Result Table—Displays information about external resources based on the specified filter criteria. The mappings in the AttributeMapping table of the OSLCSearchResultConfigTable in ThingWorx Composer determine the columns that are displayed in this table.
You can select one or more external resources that you want to add to the Traced To table. To move between results on different pages, click Next. By default, the number of remote objects to be displayed on each page is set to 50. Moving between pages clears any selection on the previous page.
 | Windchill Modeler does not support pagination. |
The following icons appear on the External Resources page:
Icon | Description |
