Import/Export User Interface Enhancements
Product: Windchill
Release: 11.0 F000
Benefit
The Import/Export Management utility has been updated with an HTML client that features a few minor updates to the user interface that make it more intuitive to use.
Additional Details
The HTML user interface was introduced in Windchill 10.2 M030 as an opt-in feature; in Windchill 11.0 F000, it is the default Import/Export Management client, so no additional steps are required to enable it.
The HTML Import/Export Management client features an updated user interface that is more intuitive to use, but remains mostly similar to the Java applet user interface that it is replacing.
