Do this by creating a new preference from Edit > Options > Index > New of CR_allow_alternate_procedures (scope of group). If you wish certain groups to use template filters, and certain groups not, you have to set different Group preferences. If you set the site preference to none, it will apply to all users in every group. You will want to set this to a value of none. By default this is set to all for the entire site. Once you have the Template filters set up, you need to set the CR_allow_alternate_procedures preference. Once the dialog is open select which group you want to allow to kick of a workflow then the Object type and then what workflows this group and Object are allowed to process.īy default Teamcenter will allow any object to be submitted to any workflow by anyone.
In Workflow Designer got Edit > Template Filter which opens up the “Process Template Filter Dialog”. Once you turn this on you must configure who kicks off what workflows and what object the workflows can use. In fact if you want to one you must do the other. The solution to both these issues is with “Template filters”. We also only want certain groups to kick off certain workflows. In my case we only wanted the revision of a certain Item to be processed in a workflow we kept having users accidently kick of a workflow on the master item. There are times when you may want to control who can kick off certain workflows or you only want certain workflows from being kicked of on certain objects. Note: the dates and names may be off as these are not official just my own notes.Ĭontrolling who can kick off certain workflows on certain objects in Teamcenterai So I created a little chart that helped me understand it all and have some what kept it up to date. When I first got involved with Teamcenter it was right before the unified platform was getting released and it was very confusing to me what version was what. Launch Teamcenter (Re-Launch if are already in) jpg format.Ĭreate image directory and put in custom icon – Create a folder called images in $TCInstall\portal\plugins\configuration_2007.1.0\ then copy any icons on this folder.Ĭreate customer.properties files – Create a cutomer.properties text file and put this into $TCInstall\portal\plugins\configuration_2007.1.0\. I will assume you can come up with your own icon just be sure it is a. Create image directory and put in custom iconĬreate Business object – I am not going to go through this here and I will be just creating a custom icon for the OOTB Item.Ĭreate custom icon – I am not going through these steps either.Although once you have the plug-in created and set up making changes or adding icons is a cinch.
So this quick and dirty way should only be used to where you only have just a few deployments and just want to test things out and see how every thing looks before going through the hassle of creating a plug-in and deploying to the masses.
This way may not be the ideal way for production where you have to push this out to many users. You may want to do it the quick and easy way first in a test/development environment anyway. While I still am planning on providing this set of instructions, today I will show the “quick and dirty” way.
