Configurable Link Tables
Special link types, known as configurable links, are provided which can be used to configure and display additional relationship tables on document and part information pages. JSP files have been provided to allow sites to implement and display these configurable link tables. The tables then display in the navigation link menus on the information page.
For more information, see Type and Attribute Management.
Configurable Links Example
An example has been provided out-of-the-box for each of the configurable link types, including tables for both the parent type and child type information pages.
The following files are delivered for the example:
• <Windchill>/loadFiles/configurableLinks/ConfigurableLinkExamples.xml
 |
The load file loads both the link types and the association constraints.
|
• <Windchill>/codebase/config/actions/ConfigurableLinkExamples-actionmodels.xml
• <Windchill>/codebase/config/actions/ConfigurableLinkExamples-actions.xml
• <Windchill>/codebase/com/ptc/windchill/enterprise/object/configurableLinkExamplesResource.class
The file ties the registry of the Customize menu on information pages to the link type that is implemented for the table, the table header, and the action title.
• <Windchill>/codebase/com/ptc/windchill/enterprise/ConfigurableLinkExamples.xconf
• <Windchill>/codebase/com/ptc/windchill/enterprise/ConfigurableLinkExamples-wt.properties.xconf
• <Windchill>/codebase/com/ptc/windchill/enterprise/ConfigurableLinkExamples-service.properties.xconf

It is recommended that you install this example on a test machine. Uninstalling the example requires manually deleting entries from some files. See Uninstalling the Configurable Links Example section in Installing the Configurable Links Example topic for more information.
