Admin Provided Objects
Admin provided objects are objects within the workflow and document object model that support solution definition and management, as well as workflow migration.
Converting a user object to an admin provided object provides a number of benefits:
• it identifies the object as part of a solution, allowing users to distinguish between corporate standard user objects and those that other users have created (which may not be intended for general use)
• it allows Windchill RV&S administrators, in addition to the creator of the original user object, to manage and update the object as needed
• admin provided objects are visible to all users, regardless of sharing permissions, avoiding potential issues with visibility
Any object that is a component of a solution must be an admin provided object. The objects that can be converted to admin provided objects include: queries, charts, reports, and dashboards. Objects are specified as admin provided objects by setting the Admin Provided attribute when you create or edit the objects. If an object, such as a query, is required by a dependant component in the solution, such as a scheduled trigger, it is automatically registered as an admin provided object. Since triggers can only be defined and managed by Windchill RV&S administrators and apply to all users, they are by nature part of a solution.
