Updated over 2 weeks ago

You can view issues on a model while viewing the models accessible to you, using the Issue Manager. However, you need the project-level privilege 'Can Create Issue' to manage those issues. Below are the steps to view an existing issue under Issue Manager while viewing a Model:


View Issue Details

1. Open the required model in the model viewer.

2. Click on the 'Issue Manager' icon at the top right to open the issue manager. A layered screen will appear with a list of already existing issues, if any.

3. Under the 'Issue Manager', click on the issue ID and issue title showing in blue colored text (in the above example screenshot, the issue ID is ISS001 & the issue title is 'Change in Mechanical Design'). It will open a detailed view of the issue along with the model view on the left side, updated to reflect the issue view captured at the time of issue creation.

All issue details will appear on the right side. Based on your access, you also have an option to edit the issue from this screen as well as create an issue comment / view existing issue comments.


Create Issue Comment

You need the project-level privilege 'Can Create Issue Comment' to manage those issues. To create a comment, click on 'Create Comment' while viewing the issue details. It will populate a layered screen as shown below:

Below is a description of the available fields:

To - Select the users to whom this comment is to be distributed.

Title- Enter comment title.

Description - Enter your comment description.

Mark as Private - Select this checkbox if this comment needs to be created as a private comment.

Once done, click 'Submit' to complete creating the comment. All the comments created on the issue will appear at the bottom while viewing the details.

To reply to a comment, click on the 'Reply' link available while viewing that particular comment and enter the required details (options would be similar to the ones available while creating a comment as described above).

To access more options while viewing issue details, click on the three-dotted menu icon at the top right.

Below is a description of the available options:
