Symptom
Users invite others to comment on diagrams, but when the link is clicked, the diagram opens without the option to comment.
Environment
- Commenting for SAP Signavio
Reproducing the Issue
- Invite a user to comment on a diagram in SAP Signavio Process Manager.
- Click on the provided link to open the diagram.
- Observe that the diagram opens without the commenting option.
Resolution
-
There are two possible reasons why the comment function may not be available:
-
Comments are globally disabled
-
Even if you open a diagram yourself and cannot access the comment function, it may be turned off system-wide.
-
To check this, go to Setup in the Explorer and open Manage general Configuration.
-
Under Portal → Comments, verify whether comments have been globally disabled.
-
-
Comments are disabled for a specific audience group
-
If only a certain group of users is affected, the comment function is likely disabled for that specific audience group.
-
To confirm:
-
Open the Collaboration Hub and click the gear icon on the left side to access Settings.
-
In the left-hand menu, open the Comments settings.
-
Use the dropdown menu to select the audience group and check whether comments are enabled or disabled via the checkbox.
