We have been running Windchill/PDMLink since V8 and are now on 10.0 preparing to move to 10.2.
One of the managers has asked what would be involved to add a new state to our Promotion Requests.
We currently have: Design, Draft, Prototype, Pre-Release, Release, Canceled and Under Review.
We would like to add a Development state between Draft and Prototype.
The Development state would be used for changes that did not require a Change Request review before implementing as the parts are being developed and changed as the design is tested. Once they design was finalized, it would then be promoted to Prototype for more formalized testing with other production equipment. When those tests are completed, it would then be promoted to Released.
My questions are:
1) What files need to be modified to add a new state?
2) What impact will adding a new state have on existing files?
3) Can the new state be isolated so it only shows on new files of a certain type (.prt, .asm)?
