Creating Annotations and Justifications on Failed Objects

You can add comments and justifications to PLM checks and failed tuples.

  • Annotations are comments that can be created on tuples and on checks. They have no impact on the object status.
  • Justifications are comments that can be added to failed objects and that have an impact on the objects status. These objects are then seen as justified and are considered by the system as "succeeded" and are taken into account when computing the percentage of failed and succeeded objects.

This task shows you how to:

Create an Annotation

You can add comments to failed objects.

  1. In the Reports dialog box, right-click a check that failed and select Create Annotation.
  2. In the Annotation dialog box, enter your comment and click OK.

    To delete an annotation, right-click the failed object and select Delete Annotation. To edit an annotation, right-click the failed object and select Add/Edit Annotation.

Create a Justification

You can add justifications to failed objects. Doing so is a way to apply the same justification to all tuples. Justifications have an impact on the computation of the percentage of failed and succeeded objects as the objects they apply to are seen as "succeeded".

Notes:
  • If you remove a justification from a check, and you added justifications to tuples, all justifications are removed.
  • If you create a justification on a check, justifications previously added to types are overwritten by the new one.
  • If the objects located under a check or a rule set are justified, the check and/or the rule set is justified.
  • If you solve/save the rule base or the profile, justifications are kept/saved.

  1. In the Reports dialog box, right-click a check that failed and select Create Justification.
  2. In the Justification dialog box, enter your text and click OK.
    Note: To delete a justification, right-click the failed object and select Delete Justification. To edit a justification, right-click the failed object and select Add/Edit Justification.
