The Enumerated Type Customization Utility allows you to add, edit, or delete values of a Windchill enumerated type, such as life cycle state or workflow role.

To change the values of an enumerated type, the resource info customization file must be changed. The resource info tools allow for customizations to be made in a parallel directory structure, so that they can be preserved easily from release to release. Use the Enumerated Type Customization Utility to edit resource info customization files, rather than editing them directly in a text editor.

If the owner of the enumerated type made it customizable, you can add to or edit its values, but you can only delete those values that you have previously customized. To use the utility, you must first access the resource bundle for the type you want to customize.

Enumerated type customizations are stored under the root directory defined by the wt.generation.custom.dir property in the tool.properties file, which defaults to $(wt.home)/wtCustom.
