Show current state on drawing

Steven Smith Mar 3, 2014 11:06 AM

In the drawing template, how do you set up the drawing so it tells you the current workflow state in ePDM?

I'm sure it's something simple, but i just cant find it.

I think the best solution is actually a couple of steps.

Link a drawing annotation to a file property. (in this example, we'll cleverly name the property "State")
Link the file property to an EPDM variable. (Perhaps call that variable "State" too.)
Put the variable on the data card as an edit box. (It can be hidden if you don't want it to show)
Update the variable every time a file goes through a workflow transition (as seen below)

  Thanks Jeff, that worked a treat.
  We have just recently invested in ePDM, going well so far. Plenty more questions to come.
  
  Thanks again.
