Context Administrative Items
Each context can be populated with the following types of administrative items:
• Context configuration
• Context structure
• Context participation
• Context policies
• Context data types and attributes
• Templates, including context templates, process templates, and data templates
• Context object initialization rules
• Context preferences
After you have created a context, you can update many of the administrative items that are associated with the context. The contexts that can be updated include the site context, as well as organization and application contexts.
Use the administrative utilities and specific user actions to edit the administrative items in a context. These utilities and actions are usually available to the administrator of the context. For the details on
Windchill administrators, see
Additional Administrative Groups.
Each type of context has a slightly different set of administrative items that can be updated. For example, you can edit the set of life cycle and workflow templates provided in organization, product, and library contexts. Also, you can only edit the set of product, library, project, and program templates that are provided in an organization or the site context. This is because product, library, project, and program templates are not included in application contexts.
The following sections provide descriptions of administrative items, information on what is installed in the site context for each item, and how to edit the items.
