Can I force check-in comments?

Can I force users to add a comment every time they check in files?

[KD]

Hi Mark,

The two jsps of check in wizard are

Windchill\codebase\netmarkets\jsp\wip\format_content_holder_checkin_step.jsp

and

Windchill\codebase\netmarkets\jsp\wip\non_format_content_holder_checkin_step.jsp

the textarea for putting comment <textarea wrap name="comment" id="comment" cols="53" rows="5"></textarea>

May be using javascript you can force user to make check in comments

Thanks and Regard,

You can use CSS .

class="required "

<textarea wrap name="comment" id="comment" cols="53" rows="5" class="required "></textarea>

Hi there,

I had the same problem.

How to force comments during "Check In" to PTC Windchill (Essentials)?

Solved by some tweaks in javascript.

Unfortunately, this does not work with auto-check-in.

Is there a way to prevent auto check-in (Creo File Menu action)?

I am afraid there is no way to deactivate auto checkin. Maybe in Creo 4 or 5.
