  Product Functions & Advantages
  What the extension does
  
  Windchill URL Helper adds a set of practical administrative tools directly into the Windchill browsing experience.
  Its purpose is to quickly enable extended information views and debugging modes without manual URL editing.
  
  Core Functions
  
  Full User/Group Info Mode
  Automatically adds infoFromPA=true to User/Group InfoPage URLs, allowing administrators to view complete user/group details that are normally hidden.
  
  jcaDebug Mode ON/OFF
  Enables or disables the jcaDebug=1 parameter on any Windchill page for UI inspection and component debugging.
  
  Auto Full Info Mode
  Optional automatic activation of full info mode for every User/Group InfoPage you open.
  
  Context Menu Integration
  All functions are available from the right-click menu on any Windchill page, providing quick access without opening the popup.
  
  Clean, Compact Popup Menu
  A simple and efficient UI for manual control of all modes.
  
  Advantages
  
  Saves time for administrators and power users
  No need to manually edit Windchill URLs or re-enable debug parameters.
  
  Reduces repetitive actions
  Auto mode eliminates constant toggling of infoFromPA=true.
  
  Improves troubleshooting efficiency
  jcaDebug can be turned on/off instantly while navigating through UI components.
  
  Safe and lightweight
  The extension performs no data collection and modifies only the current page URL.
  
  Consistent and predictable behavior
  Built with URL-aware logic: works only where applicable (e.g., User/Group pages), and avoids unnecessary changes.
  
  Integrates naturally with the workflow
  Popup menu + context menu provide multiple ways to access the tools depending on preference.
