Context menu maintenance

I’ve added a Context Menu Item for Method Tracker (menu ID SEGO3100) to the Part.PartNum field but when I try to use it, I keep getting Engineering Workbench not Method Tracker.

Has anyone have the same experience and found a resolution?

I’m on 10.1.400.20 if that makes a difference in your reply :slight_smile:

I can’t find the post that explains it, but you have to go into the Ice.Menu table and add the arguments -formName BOMTrackerForm in from of your customization name. If you don’t have a customization, I think you just put the argument in. I made an updateable BAQ to put in in there. There isn’t a way that I know of to add this on the front end. We’ll call this the side door method with the back door being a SQL update.

Edit: this works for menu items, I haven’t tried if for context items. I’m guessing that you will have to make a process in the menu maintenance to link it to instead of the stock one. But I’m not sure.

Try it on the Revision field not the PartNum Field.

And actually, now that I think of it, It’s already in the system. You just have to click on a revision, not a part number so it doesn’t work in a lot of places.
