FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Below you’ll find answers to our most commonly asked questions.

You can count on personalized support around the clock by email, live chat, or by joining a live webinar.

What is Thingworx Navigate?
Thingworx Navigate is a set of revolutionary applications. It allows access to product data sourced from multiple enterprise systems in a simple, user interface. This ensures stakeholders always have the latest, most accurate product information in context to their role to drive critical decisions.
Why ThingWorx Navigate?

Most enterprise software tools are inaccessible to users due to costly licensing, intensive training, and the time it takes to integrate and customize. Non-expert stakeholders access and exchange data from disconnected systems, processes, and tools. These workarounds create a new instance of the data that is no longer under change control. Subsequent updates to the system make the workaround, and any decisions made with it irrelevant and inaccurate.

What is the relationship between Navigate and Windchill, Integrity, Windchill PLM and Windchill SIM?

Thingworx Navigate is a “system of engagement”. It is how people interact with technologies like Windchill (including PLM/SIM) and Integrity. “Systems of record” are where expert-level users work, where they manage, store and reference content. Oftentimes these “systems of record” are too difficult for casual and infrequent users to use efficiently. Thingworx Navigate is the solution that creates a more streamlined, intuitive, “system of engagement” to get the same information in the “system of record”, in real-time.

QUICK SEARCH

Quick Search provides a hassle-free way for users to find content in Windchill by simply entering a number or attribute and return relevant results from across your PLM environment. It removes the need for users to apply an understanding of how Windchill objects are related in order to find the information needed to do their job. This app has the ability to tailor search parameter to each user’s role so searches do not become overwhelmed with irrelevant information to their role.

BOM REPORTS

Allow all organization departments to accurately see your bill of materials (BOMs). View lists of unreleased, created or modified parts and important up to date data relevant to specific departments to make the best decisions for your enterprise.

Creating bill of materials (BOMs) requires input from design, procurement, manufacturing, and sales for products requiring specific requirements management, detailed manufacturing, quality work instructions, or an intensive manufacturing process.

EAC Apps Screenshot - BoM Reports

BOM COMPARE

Provide a side-by-side comparison of two Windchill bill of materials. Many engineers don’t even realize Windchill comparisons exist. Our BoM Compare application is here to change that.

Now, your teams are able to compare the differences between BoMs of specific parts with the click of a button – taking the manual work out of this detailed task.

CHANGE MANAGEMENT

Project Management can be a difficult task when the manual movement of data between departments can be slow, inaccurate, or out-of-date by the time it is put in the hands of the next person. Our Change Management app was built to deliver a graphical view of problem reports, change requests, change reports, change variances, and promotion requests managed within Windchill and visible to all users necessary.

Regardless of your department, this customizable space for the addition and development of role-based reports helps users see only the most relevant and critical information. With all of these features, projects are less likely to run awry with more easily managed project progress status and data.

EAC Apps Screenshot - BoM Reports

REPORT VIEWER

Give individuals outside of engineering the ability to view and run needed records. This is especially helpful for those who aren’t necessarily familiar with running reports within Windchill, but still want to drive home the idea of change management.
The Report Viewer application allows users to create pre-configured reports, save new reports, and access pre-built dashboards for reports that leverage the Windchill search engine. If it’s a report in Windchill, you can run it with this application.
