Adding comments to objects

You can add comments to objects in OpenPages® if your administrator enabled commenting, granted you permission, and configured object types to allow comments. For example, you might add a comment on an Issue object to ask a question, share an observation, or note your thoughts about it.

To add a comment to an object, go to the Task or Admin tab and click Comments to open the Comments panel.

When you create a comment, you can mention other users who might be interested by using the @ symbol. An email containing a link to your comment and a preview is sent to all the users that you mentioned.

You can also edit or delete the comments that you added. If you edit a comment, the label (Edited) appears. If you delete a comment, the panel displays Comment deleted by <username>.
