Show History in View Signed Versions does not work for experiments of inactive users

Show History in View Signed Versions does not work for experiments of inactive users

The following error message appears for "View Signed Versions" -> "Show History" command over an inactive user's experiment:

---------------------------
ENContainer
---------------------------
Sorry, the user name "XXXXX" is not recognized.
---------------------------
OK  
---------------------------


SOLUTION:

As an E-Notebook administrator, make the following configuration change:

Everyone -> Collection Types -> User -> [right click] -> Collection Type Configuration -> States -> Inactive -> Change and Annotation Rules -> For Existing Sections = "Writable with prompted Optional Annotation" (originally it was "Read-only").


NOTE: You will no longer see the lock on inactive users' icons. If you still want a distinct icon for inactive users, you can do the following:

1. As an E-Notebook administrator, go to Everyone -> Collection Types -> User -> [right click] -> Collection Type Configuration -> States -> Inactive.
2. Select a new icon from the "Icon Name" dropdown on the right side.
3. Close the "Collection Type Configuration" dialog.
4. Refresh E-Notebook (from the application menu "View" -> "Refresh", or F5).
