Customizing Action Item Attributes
Some customizable attributes are exposed in the user interface by default. These attributes are all modeled attributes to ensure the best performance and scalability. For more information, see the following topics:
Attribute Customization
Attribute Panels
For a list of which action items are exposed and hidden by default, see the “Default Visibility of Action Item Attributes” section below.
* 
When performing an advanced search on action items, all attributes are available, including those not currently exposed in the user interface.
You can customize action item attributes by modifying attributeConfig.xml in the code base:
Expose or hide attributes
Reorder attributes
Designate which attributes should be required
* 
You can also create or modify the attribute display names through the associated resource bundle. For information on modifying display names, see Changing Displayed Text Found in RBINFO Files.
1. Navigate to the following file:
<Windchill>/codebase/wt/meeting/actionitem/attributeConfig.xml
Where <Windchill> is the Windchill installation directory.
2. Locate the <attribute> element you want to customize and modify the following values:
enabled—Expose or hide an attribute.
Set this value to true to expose the attribute; set it to false to hide it.
order—The order in which the attribute appears.
Assign a value for each element in the numeric order in which you want the attribute to display.
required—Determines whether the attribute is required.
Set this value to true to make the attribute required; set it to false to make it optional.
For example, in the following customization the Comments field is visible, is the twelfth attribute to appear, and is not required.
<attribute resourceKey="comments"
enabled="true"
order="12"
required="false"
resourceBundle="wt.meeting.actionitem.actionitemModelRB"
displayType="textBox"
internalName="Comments"
type="java.lang.String"
/>
