Hopefully everyone has seen the videos covering the new drag-n-drop capabilities coming with Windchill 10.2_M020. If not, click on the video tab and look for the following videos. They do not have audio, but they give a clear understanding of how the drag-n-drop functionality is implemented.
- Windchill 10.2 Drag-n-Drop Single Document Upload
- Windchill 10.2 Drag-n-Drop Multiple Document Upload
- Windchill 10.2 Drag-n-Drop Multiple Attachment Upload
What changes this in 10.2_M020, is a change to the default value of the Attachments preference named "File Upload Mechanism". It has always been set to "Use Java applet functionality to select and upload files" and now it will be set to "Use basic browser functionality to select and upload files". If the browser supports HTML5, the drag-n-drop functionality will work automatically.
If after upgrading your system to 10.2_M020, the drag-n-drop capability is not working, double check the value of this preference and ensure your browser supports HTML5. I have done all my validations with Chrome and Firefox but still need to test IE 10 since my machine is still on IE 9.
