The group information page is a collection point for information related to the group. It contains attribute information about a group and displays the participants that are members of the group in a Members table and the groups to which the group is a member in a Groups table.

The information page of a group is accessed by clicking the information icon

. The information page can be accessed from any table that displays a row containing the group for which you want to view information.

From the information page, you can perform actions on a group, as well as view the object attributes and any related information.

For an overview of information page functionality, see About Information Pages and Customizing Information Page Tabs.

Information pages contain a list of applicable actions in a menu in the upper left corner of the page. See Common Actions for a list of common actions available in Windchill. The availability of these actions depends on the status of the group, as well as your access to it. For more information about status indicators, see Object Status.

• The Members table displays the participants that are defined as members of the group in a hierarchical tree structure. Starting Windchill 12.1.0.0, you have the option to view the disconnected members in the table by setting wt.org.displayDisconnectedUsersForGroup property in wt.properties file. The default value for this property is set to false. You are required to set the value to true to see the disconnected members in the table. Method server restart is not required to reflect the property value change. An additional General Status

denotes the disconnected member listed in the table as seen in figure below.

Use expand all

or collapse all

to view or hide the members of the group in a hierarchical structure. You can also use the expand

and collapse

on an individual sub-group to view or hide its members.

The following table lists the columns in the table:

Column	Description
Status Indicator	Displays an icon that indicates the participant status. For more information about the possible values, see Object Status.
Object Type Indicator	Displays an icon that indicates the object type.

To export the members table to CSV file, click export to csv

icon. All the participants that are defined as members of the group are exported to a CSV file with a group membership hierarchy. This file format is compatible with Microsoft Excel.

For example, an organization-level group named View and Print Users is created and added to PTC View and Print Only License group as a subgroup. If users Dave and Tom Beth are added as members of the subgroup View and Print Users, then the structure level of View and Print Users group is displayed as 0 and structure level for John Dave and Tom Beth is displayed as 1. A sample excel sheet is shown below.
