PTC Technical Support and eAlert emails

In the last week or two, the format has changed for the WORST. Each software used to be broken into builds like we subscribe to, Creo Parameteric listed Creo 2 in one section followed by Creo 3 in the next section under Creo Parametric.

 

 

Now they all fall under on section called Creo Parametric and are all mixed together. It is this way for each subject. Now I have to hunt and pick for Creo 3 Parametric issues.

 

Has everyone else seen this regression?

Good day Lance,

Thank you for letting us know and I will be looking into the matter further.

I may not have an update until next week, but will post the findings when I have them.

Best,

Toby

It started with the emails last Friday 11/6. The email on Thursday 11/5 was broken down by version still.

We've found the root cause of the problem and are now working on a fix. We have 2 possible approaches to display the information and I am interested in your input.

Let's say we have 3 articles

  • Article 1 which applies to Creo 2.0 and Creo 3.0
  • Article 2 which applies only to Creo 2.0
  • Article 3 which applies only to Creo 3.0

We basically have 2 ways to structure the notification email, both with pros and cons

  • Option 1
    • We break down the list by Product/Version (based on what you subscribed to) : 1 section for Creo 3.0 and 1 section for Creo 2.0
    • Under each section, you'll see all the articles applying to this product/release with the caveat that a given article could apply to 2 sections. As a consequence, the email might be longer and some articles might appear several times in different sections
    • For instance in our case
      • Creo 2.0
        • Article 1
        • Article 2
      • Creo 3.0
        • Article 1
        • Article 3
  • Option 2
    • We just have 1 list per Product and add a column to the list which shows to which release the article applies to
    • It would produce a more condensed email, but would prevent you to have a "release" break down of the list of articles
    • For instance in our case
      • Creo
        • Article 1 -- Creo 2.0 to 3.0
        • Article 2 -- Creo 2.0
        • Article 3 -- Creo 3.0

Do you have a preference ? Which one would be the most convenient for you guys ?

I've been following this but haven't been in the discussion.

From the standpoint of one who uses multiple versions concurrently, depending on the client, I'd prefer option #2. That will allow me to scan for issues that are important to me then check to see if they effect the version I'm currently using.

Either one is an improvement over what is happening now.

Good news, Option #2 has been implemented today! Work on "created date" is still ongoing though.
