Add a Comment in Data Central

Comments provide a space for ongoing dialogue about a record. Users can add multiple comments to a record and each one will be retained and viewable from a panel listing, or from the Details view of a single record. 

A typical use of Comments might be for a reviewer to note something about a record that does not have to be actionable or have workflow attached to it. If there is a need for tracking actions related to the comments, users should create an issue instead.

Any user, including users with a Read-Only role, can add and view comments.

Note: Properties (i.e. reason for reopening, reopened by, closed by and answered by) for issues that were reopened display in the Comments section.

  1. Expand the Comments section.
  2. Enter your comment.
