Issues in Design Collaboration

Use Design Collaboration to view or create issues on your team's documents and packages. See the Issues topic to learn more. Learn how to control your issue email notifications.

Issues are used by teams to identify and communicate areas of concern or improvement with the project documents. Within the Design Collaboration module, you can view issues created in the Document Management module or you can create issues directly in Design Collaboration. The opposite is also true, in which issues created in Design Collaboration are visible in Document Management. Recall, issues are associated with a single version of the document. Therefore, in Design Collaboration, only the issues from Document Management associated with current model are visible. See the Document Management help to learn more about issues in Document Management.

Issues in Design Collaboration are associated with either work-in-progress (WIP) documents or a package. See the Manage Issues in Design Collaboration topic to learn more about how to filter the issues by type.

When you access an issue from the Team Space in the Design Collaboration module, you can directly access the issue location in the viewer. Additionally, the Content Browser indicates all documents or views that have associated issues. This helps you to quickly identify all issues associated with a document or view. See the Manage Issues in Design Collaboration topic to learn more.

The visibility of issues for your team depends on the shared status of the document and the originator of the issue. See the Public vs Private section of the help to learn more.
