2. Execute the command:

xconfmanager -i codebase/com/ptc/windchill/enterprise/ConfigurableLinkExamples.xconf –p.

3. Add the following property to site.xconf in $WT_HOME:

<Property name="com.ptc.arbortext.sis.typename.partToDocumentLink" overridable="true" targetFile="codebase/sis.properties" value="wt.configurablelink.ConfigurableDescribeLink|com.ptc.CustomDescribeLink"/>.

4. Restart WindchillMethod Server.

5. In Windchill shell, execute the command:

windchill wt.load.LoadFromFile -d loadfiles/configurableLinks/ConfigurableLinkExamples.xml

6. OpenWindchill in your browser and login as the System Administrator.

7. Click Site > Utilities > Type and Attribute Management to view CustomDescribeLink that is added under Configurable Describe Link.

8. Define relationship constraints to add part related configurable documents to Describe Child Objects table in part structure browser. You can add one or more Describe Child Objects to a part.
