Ok, I got this yesterday and I don't remember seeing it before in SW2015.
History, we're switching from SW2015 and Smarteam to SW2019 and SW PDM.
The question is: It say that it was automatically dismissed when the file was opened but shouldn't there be an OK button? I don't remember seeing this message in SW2015 and maybe it's different in SW2019 but I can't explain what it is doing.

in 2017 or 2018 they added an option for automatically dismissing messages when opening files with a timer. this was to help with large assembly opening where the operator may walk away while waiting to open the file, only to come back and find SW only partly done opening the file and waiting for a response. and then you can see the summary of those dismissed messages afterward (which is what you see in your screenshot).

This was a godsend for me, because that's exactly what I do. Now if they can just implement the ability to toggle all components to resolved and back with the click of a button, I'd be ecstatic. That way I can make a top level change, click a button, go get cup of coffee and have the change propagated all the way down. Instead of manually doing all that work.
So normally I'd understand what this message was and how to get rid of it and you can see below that I don't have that message in my Dismissed box and in this case, I know what I did (renamed a config) but what's got me bothered is that there's no OK (or cancel) button to get out of the message and the only way I can get rid of it is to his the small "x"

The open summary in your image is from any error messages that defaulted to "OK" because no user input was detected in the allowed time.
The dismissed messages in your system options are only logged when you select the "Do not show again.." option.
If you want to undo the programs assumption, just close and re-open the file and provide the desired selection when the error message prompts again.

The outcome (me having changed a Config name) goes away after I've saved the file in question. I'm just curious why there's not a better way to dismiss this message.

if you don't want to see the summary, don't hit the button to show it on the message immediately prior .
Can you explain what a better way might entail?
The dialogue prompts to the forefront immediately upon loading and remains until the time threshold is met or the user specifies a selection. (by your image, that threshold is 10sec.)
If you are concerned with the software making these selections for you, adjust your threshold or just turn the option off all together.
Hi,
You can check your dismissed messages to see if the specific message is there. Remove the dismissed message and open the assembly again to see if it makes a difference. System Options> Dismissed Messages and tick the one applicable.
