DTI Customization Framework
Windchill supports a Microsoft Office integration known as Windchill Desktop Integration (DTI). DTI supports Windchill actions, such as Create Document, Check In, Check Out, and Search, from within Microsoft Office applications under the Windchill tab.
Windchill Desktop Integration supports customization to suit your site-specific action implementations. This customization involves the introduction of custom attributes and new actions (launch points) on the Microsoft Office ribbon.
