Linking authorship to TWS user

Hello,

is it possible to reference the user with whom someone is logged into the Teamwork Server as the author for example of a comment?

Let's say colleague leaves me comment on one of my diagrams, can I define a comment stereotype that automatically has a "author" property of his Teamwork Server user? If yes, how do I do this

Thank you very much

Hello,

Every change in the model results as a new version (after commit), so you may get detail who made this change by analyzing history of the project.
In Teamwork Server this is particular difficult to find the author of the change, as you need to open each version of the project history to find out if that element was modified in that version.
But If you use Teamwork Cloud for team collaboration, this task becomes easy as you can get history of every element. It shows who modified it and when. Additionally you may see the visual diff of a change.
Please see more details here: https://docs.nomagic.com/display/MD185/ ... ng+changes

Hello and thank you for the reply. Your answer is interesting in another sense than what I intended with my question. Do I have to enable the element history because when I right click an element in my project (saved on TWS) I don't get the option of History. Also Crtl+H doesn't do anything.

Let me rephrase my original question. Let's say I want to define a comment stereotype and each comment shall have an author, then I would like the author to automatically be the user who is logged into TWS. This is what I meant by linking the authorship of a certain model element to the TWS user. Is this possible and if yes, how do I reference the TWS user in the comment's authorship property?

Thanks and best regards

Yes, you can definitely reference the user with whom someone is logged into the Teamwork Server as the author. drift boss 1001 tips
