Configure global attributes

In order to enable Windchill and Creo to store and share the data required by the MI Materials Gateways for Creo and Windchill, the new global attributes must be added to the data types in Windchill.

If you have an existing MI Materials Gateway implementation, you may have already configured some or all of these global attributes.

However, if you are configuring Gateway to support synchronization of body assignments for the first time, you must ensure that you extend your existing data model to support Granta assignments on bodies.

Add new attributes to the CAD Document type

In the Site (or Organisation) Type and Attribute Management utility, click Manage Types.
Navigate to EPM Document > CAD Document and edit the CAD Document via the Actions menu.

Add the following attributes to the CAD Document, of type Global, and mapped to the Globally-defined attributes:

GRANTA_DATABASE_KEY_CAD
GRANTA_EXPORT_DATETIME_CAD
GRANTA_IDENTITY_GUID_CAD
GRANTA_TXT_MTL_NAME_CAD
GRANTA_VERSION_GUID_CAD
GRANTA_RECORD_NUMBER_CAD
GRANTA_PRC_DATABASE_KEY_CAD
GRANTA_PRC_EXPORT_DATETIME_CAD
GRANTA_PRC_IDENTITY_GUID_CAD
GRANTA_PRC_NAME_CAD
GRANTA_PRC_VERSION_GUID_CAD
GRANTA_PRC_RECORD_NUMBER_CAD
GRANTA_ST_COVERAGE_CAD
GRANTA_ST_DATABASE_KEY_CAD
GRANTA_ST_EXPORT_DATETIME_CAD
GRANTA_ST_IDENTITY_GUID_CAD
GRANTA_ST_NAME_CAD
GRANTA_ST_VERSION_GUID_CAD
GRANTA_ST_RECORD_NUMBER_CAD
GRANTA_CLR_DATABASE_KEY_CAD
GRANTA_CLR_EXPORT_DATETIME_CAD
GRANTA_CLR_IDENTITY_GUID_CAD
GRANTA_CLR_NAME_CAD
GRANTA_CLR_VERSION_GUID_CAD
GRANTA_CLR_RECORD_NUMBER_CAD
PRO_MP_AREA
PRO_MP_VOLUME

You should now see attributes on the CAD Document as follows:

Optional: Define the appearance of attributes on the CAD Document layout.
The new attributes for the CAD Document will be automatically added to the More Attributes section for that document definition. This may be modified if desired, or they may be removed. A suggestion is to leave visible only these attributes:
```
GRANTA_TXT_MTL_NAME_CAD
GRANTA_PRC_NAME_CAD 
GRANTA_ST_NAME_CAD 
GRANTA_CLR_NAME_CAD
```
Note: Any objects that are derived from CAD Document will have inherited its layouts, and must be amended in the same way. For example, ECAD Document is derived from CAD Document and therefore the new attributes must be removed from any layouts in which they appear, if they are not required.

Add the attributes to the Part type:

In the Site (or Organization) Type and Attribute Management utility, click Manage Types.
Add the following attributes to the Part, of type Global, and mapped to the Globally-defined attributes created above:

GRANTA_DATABASE_KEY_CAD
GRANTA_DATABASE_KEY_PLM
GRANTA_EXPORT_DATETIME_CAD                    
GRANTA_EXPORT_DATETIME_PLM

GRANTA_ST_IDENTITY_GUID_CAD
GRANTA_ST_IDENTITY_GUID_PLM
GRANTA_ST_NAME_CAD
GRANTA_ST_NAME_PLM
GRANTA_ST_VERSION_GUID_CAD
GRANTA_ST_VERSION_GUID_PLM
GRANTA_CLR_DATABASE_KEY_CAD
GRANTA_CLR_DATABASE_KEY_PLM
GRANTA_CLR_EXPORT_DATETIME_CAD
GRANTA_CLR_EXPORT_DATETIME_PLM

GRANTA_CLR_NAME_PLM
GRANTA_CLR_VERSION_GUID_CAD
GRANTA_CLR_VERSION_GUID_PLM
PRO_MP_AREA
PRO_MP_VOLUME

Optional: Set the appearance of attributes on the Part layout.
The all attributes will be added to the Part Structure Attributes layout for that object's definition. You can change which attributes are displayed. You should ensure that the following attributes are displayed:
```
GRANTA_TXT_MTL_NAME_CAD 
GRANTA_PRC_NAME_CAD 
GRANTA_ST_NAME_CAD 
GRANTA_CLR_NAME_CAD 
GRANTA_TXT_MTL_NAME_PLM 
GRANTA_PRC_NAME_PLM 
GRANTA_ST_NAME_PLM 
GRANTA_CLR_NAME_PLM
```
For example:
Note: Any objects that are derived from Part will have inherited its layouts, and must be amended in the same way. For example, Electrical Part is derived from Part, and therefore the new attributes must be removed from any layouts in which they appear here too.
