SOLIDWORKS PDM lets you control mandatory comments with more granularity
during the check-in or change state operations.
With the improved control, the administrator mandates that users add the
check-in or state change comments for specific states and transitions in the workflow.
These mandatory comments create a reliable document history.
The enhanced permissions are: Must enter version
comments for each state in workflow and Must
enter state change comments for each transition.
| Scenario |
Must enter version comments |
Must enter state change comments |
| Administrative permission is selected and state or
transition permission is selected or cleared. |
Enter comments during:
- Initial check-in.
- Check in through Copy Tree and Branch
operations.
- Merge by using the option Merge as new file for at
least one file in the reference tree.
- Set Revision action when Update Variable is
selected.
