Right Click Menu Customization
However, it is possible to add a menu item to the right-click context menus in the structure that can launch actions or other jsp pages (e.g., reports). There is an example action that can be used as a basis for creating custom actions or reports.
Perform the following steps see the example action.
1. There is an example jsp file installed in the following location: <Windchill>/codebase/netmarkets/jsp/part/custom/customAction.jsp.
2. In <Windchill>/codebase/config/actions/psb-actionmodels.xml, find the psbRelatedPartsTreeContextMenu model and uncomment the "customActionGWT" action by removing the <!-- and --> delimiters.
The customActionGWT is defined in the <Windchill>/codebase/config/actions/psb-actions.xml file:
<action name="customActionGWT" ajax="component">
<command class="com.ptc.cat.ui.client.action.LaunchURLAction"
method="execute" url="/ptc1/psb/customAction" windowType="popup"/>
<supportedTypes>
<type value="wt.part.WTPart" />
<type value="wt.part.WTPartUsageLink" />
<type value="wt.part.PartUsesOccurrence" />
<type value="wt.part.RTPartPathOccurrence" />
</supportedTypes>
</action>
3. Restart the MethodServer and navigate to the Structure tab of a Part information page.
4. Right-click on any part in the structure and select Custom Action in the menu. This launches a window as defined by customAction.jsp.
5. To create custom actions or report, define the action in the appropriate *-actions.xml file (e.g., psb-actions.xml) using the customActionGWT as an example.
◦ Change the name of the action, the url parameter and supportedTypes as needed.
◦ Add the resourceBundle parameter to specify the file that contains the label of the action (see “Resource Info (.rbInfo) Files” section).
◦ Then update the model definition in the appropriate *-actionmodels.xml file to include the action defined.
