New User Interface Enhancements
Leverage newly redesigned, fully customizable start pages across the enterprise: design user- or group-based start pages with drag-and-drop controls; view graphs, reports, and tables right from the start page; and easily access key tasks, like workflow items, recent files, item insertion, and more upon start-up. Other interface enhancements include out-of-browser support for Web Access modules FMEA, FRACAS, and MSG-3; new Web access to the Administrator module; new filtering capabilities; support for Rich Text Formatting in memo fields; and much, much more.
New integration between Windchill FRACAS and change management
Ensure closed-loop quality management by escalating a FRACAS problem to the Windchill change management workflow. New functionality enables launching a CAPA request, change request, or problem report from inside Windchill FRACAS, while a dynamic connection to Windchill change management updates Windchill FRACAS users on the status of the request.
New integration between Windchill FMEA and Creo
Protect designed-in product quality throughout the lifecycle by connecting critical characteristics in the CAD model, defined in Creo, to manufacturing control plans developed in Windchill FMEA. Control Plans communicate manufacturing process controls from the design team to the manufacturing team, ensuring that characteristics which are critical to a product’s quality – as defined in the CAD model in Creo – will be protected throughout the manufacturing process.
