We have mutiple part item types created and we would like to add these item types in "Parts" category. I know that we can add Saved Search for each Item type but that doesn't look good for us. we want an item type and create action to be included in the category.
This project shows the use case solved with a 'massive amount of effort': https://github.com/AngelaIp/custom-itemtype-view
It´s not an official project, it shows a possible solution. I acutally do not use it by myself! But free to try it and share your ideas!
thanks Angelalp, this is what exactly we are looking for and I have one more query..is that possible to edit the latest generation of the old Rev, say we have A.1,A.2,A.3, B.1,B.2,B.3.. we are looking to edit A.3 and B.3.
By OOTB editing old Revision has been disabled.
Please be aware that the project may contain bugs and is not activly maintained. Try to understand the concept before you consider to use it!
AJ is absolutely right when he recommends the other approaches, cause nobody will help you to maintainace unfinished experimental stuff.
The forum is a great place to talk about this kind of ideas, but I mainly posted it for promotion purposes.
The more people are asking about certain features, the more likely we will get an official solution.
To your second request: I would recommend you to open this one in a new thread. I do not want to stop you enthusiasm, but mixing up multiple topics makes it hard for others to follow.
Hi Selvlennox,
To achieve this you must navigate to your new custom part ItemType, and there are two relationship types you'll need to set on your custom ItemType.
First you must set TOC View to include an identity of who can view the new ItemType in the TOC. The other is TOC Access. This is where you can define a category on the TOC for your custom ItemType to live. If you would like your custom part type to be near the other part, under Category, you would pick Design.

HI Sebastin thanks for the reply. I have created Part > Design, Part > Material, Part >Sheet. all these items are created under Part Item type.. I want to see all these item types under "Parts" category. How is that possible? I am not able to navigate to custom part type. I can open only Part Item type..and I can edit only for Part the TOC access.. how to specify the custom part type under Parts category, so users can create the item types from TOC...
Are Design, Material, and Sheet all their own itemtype? Or are they classifcations on the Part ItemType? If they're a classification then my previous comment won't work. Could you please provide more detail about your configuration?
