In Mike's 17 years of prospecting SOLIDWORKS PDM from the Category Caverns to the Tributaries of Transitions, he has discovered treasures unforeseen. Let him dazzle you with his rare discoveries. For example, would you like your users to be able to use Microsoft Teams (or another service) to message each other to ask why they have files checked out? Do you want to be able to dynamically determine which departments need to sign off on a design before release? Explore how to let users easily discover files they have checked out. Dig into how to set up a data card to create dazzling file descriptions. Learn how to copy custom Column Sets even though there is no Copy function. Join my session to have these gems and more revealed to you.
