As we get more and more Thin Clients on our Production Floor. Would like to see a better / more efficient method of accessing/viewing files from Items. Would like to see it mimic the Thick Client a little more and be way more intuitive.
This could be done by renaming the "Properties" tab in the Thin Client "General" as in the Thick Client or vice versa. Make this and all nomenclature consistent and in the same order between clients
Second thing, is to add the files that are linked the the item on the first tab ("Properties"/"General") when the item open similar to this screen shot. (YELLOW BOX). Why make them go thru multiple picks and tabs when all they want to do is view the 2D/3D files.
Lastly, add a view button just to the left of the filename so it's obvious what that pick will do (RED ARROW).
Our use, and most other companies will intend to use the the Thin Client is on the production floor or users outside of Engineering department. Majority if not all are non-CAD users and most are NOT computer savvy or minimal experience in using computers. I feel the Thin Client is primarily a drawing / model viewer and the more obvious and intuitive it is to use, it will get those already intimidated users onboard and make there jobs more more efficient and prone to less mistakes. We don't want them picking and hoping for the best or worse, getting frustrated and not utilize this awesome technology.
Best,
Steve H.
