Question

Where do you capture Review comments

When processing a Change Notice we want to get the proposed change reviewed and commented on before we create the new revision of the document. We are trying to capture any comments as an attachment to the Change Notice, however this is quite awkward because the file has to be saved externally and then added back in as a new attachment. Is anybody using any other way to collect review comments within Windchill that overcomes this issue?

Are you saying you want to capture the proposed changes of each of the drawings added to the CN or a comment about the overall reason for the CN?

We are using either a review form (an Excel spreadsheet) or a marked up copy of the document under review. This is included as an attachment on the CN.

We've been using CIB review to add comments prior to actioning any revisions on Change Tasks.  However those comments have to be pretty short, or they run off the page.  On the attached image you can see a short comment on the CIB task appears, but a longer one on a Change task runs off the screen.   We have (as of yet) found no way to wrap the text in a Change Task (or any Task) comments field.

In every column you have the Wrap Text option.  Each column header has the drop-down arrow when you put your mouse over it.

Perfect!  Never noticed this in all the years I've used Windchill! 🙂  Thanks
