Windchill CAPA: Unlimited Text Fields
Product: Windchill, Windchill Quality Solutions, Windchill CAPA
Release: 11.0 M020
Benefit
By enabling unlimited text fields, customers can record unlimited text for CAPA requests as part of the primary record instead of using attachments.
Additional Details
Customers can now record unlimited text for CAPA requests in the additional information fields. This functionality allows companies to record the information as part of the primary record instead of using attachments.
The name of this field changes depending on the state of the CAPA. For example, the field appears as Review Additional Information in the review state, Investigation Additional Information in the investigation state, and so on.
The new fields are available on upgrade, but not by default. This implementation avoids overwriting an existing layout that companies might have already configured. Customers can configure the following areas to make the new fields usable:
The user interface layout, using the Type and Attribute Management utility
* 
When unlimited text fields are added to the user interface, the information appears in the audit trail.
Cognos snapshot reports, by selecting the fields to appear in the reports
The Query Builder utility, by selecting the fields to appear in the reports
If you do not have any customizations and you are simply using the out-of-the-box layouts, load the following files manually to apply the layout changes:
<Windchill>/loadFiles/type/CAPAActionPlan.xml
<Windchill>/loadFiles/type/CAPAActivityConfirmation.xml
<Windchill>/loadFiles/type/CAPAActivityEffectiveness.xml
<Windchill>/loadFiles/type/CAPAChangeActivity.xml
<Windchill>/loadFiles/type/CAPAChangeInvestigation.xml
<Windchill>/loadFiles/type/CAPAChangeRequest.xml
If you do not have any customizations and you want to update the CAPA navigation and history reports, load the following files manually:
CAPAReportWithNavigation_Version3.xml
CAPAHistory.xml
