Commenting on objects

You can add comments to objects if your administrator gave you permission and they set up OpenPages® to allow comments on objects. For example, you can add a comment on an Issue to ask a question, make an observation, or record your thoughts about the Issue.

From the Task or Admin tab for an object, click Comments to display the Comments panel.

When you add a comment on an object, you can mention other users who might be interested in it. An email with a link to and a preview of your comment is sent to all the users that you added to the comment.

You can edit or delete comments that you added. The text Edited is displayed on comments that have been edited by the author. The text Comment deleted by <username> is displayed on comments that have been deleted.
