Creating and Assigning Comments
Contents
Process:
•Creating and assigning comments to ProSig objects
•Creating free text comments and comments to which attachments are assigned
Requirements:
Description:
Comments can be created in ProSig as free-text comments and assigned to an object or object attribute using the Edit Object(s) function.
A comment can be assigned to any object in the project using the attribute 'Bearbeitungsvermerk'. When the objects are exported to the corresponding PT1 tables, the attribute 'Bearbeitungsvermerk' is entered in the 'Note' column of the respective object.
In the PlanPro glossary, the object for displaying a Edit note is formulated as follows:
Comment (Bearbeitungsvermerk)
Attachment in the form of a file or text to an object or attribute.
Each authorized project member can add an edit note (Bearbeitungsvermerk) to an object or attribute, as long as they have the necessary authorization. This applies to technical and organizational objects and attributes.
For ENUM attributes, a Edit note should be added when the value 'sonstige' is selected. Document attachment is optional.
Several edit notes can be created for an object or attribute. The Edit note temporarily contains a GUID for identifying the processor and a GUID for the signature. In the attribute 'Bearbeitungsvermerk Rolle', the effective role of the user can be stored. Comments of the user are stored as user-defined text in the 'Comment' attribute. The Edit note can include an attachment. To assign several attachments to an object, several edit notes have to be created.

Procedure:
1.To create and edit a comment in the project continue with Step 2.
To assign an existing comment to an object, continue with Step 4.
To create and assign a comment to a attribute, continue with Step 5.
2.The function 'Comments' can be used to create a comment in the project.
Command Line: PRS_KOMMENTAR
Ribbon: ProSig EPU -> Planning Basis -> Comments

oIf comments already exist in the project, they are displayed in the dialog.
oThe 'New' (A) button can be used to create a new comment. Then you have to specify the insertion point and the insertion angle for positioning the comment in the drawing.
oThe 'Delete' (F) button can be used to remove an existing comment from the project after selecting it in the dialog.
3.After creating a new comment, the attributes should be assigned.
oThe 'Comment' attribute (B) should be filled with the comment of the editor as free text.
oThe 'Short text' attribute (C) should be filled with a short description for the comment. The Short text is used when assigning a comment to an object, see also Step 5.
oThe 'Inventory-relevant' attribute (D) can be used to specify whether the comment (B) is to be displayed in the drawing or not.
▪Inventory-relevant comments are displayed in the drawing and should be checked again by the SCT technical planner before creating the inventory data, since they may not have been necessary for individual planning.
▪Comments that are not inventory-relevant are not displayed in the drawing.

4.For the assignment of an existing comment to any object, the comment can be selected via the attribute 'Bearbeitungsvermerk'. The Short text of the comment is then displayed in the attribute. During the Export of the objects to the corresponding PT1 tables, the value of the attribute 'Bearbeitungsvermerk' is entered in the 'Note' column of the respective object.
