Adding comments to items

As well as assigning a review mark to an item, you can add a comment to it.

The permissions that are assigned to you determine the types of comments that you can add. If you have the Add Own Review Comments permission, you can add comments in your own words. If you have the Add Standard Review Comments permission, you can select the comments to add from a predefined list. By default, users with the role of compliance supervisors, department reviewers, and exception reviewers have both permissions.

To add a comment to an item

  1. In the Review pane, select one or more items to which you want to add a comment.

    To select multiple adjacent items, click the first item, and then hold down the Shift key and click the last item. To select nonadjacent items, click the first item, and then hold down the Ctrl key and click additional items. To select all the items, press Ctrl+A.

  2. In the Comment box at the bottom of the pane, type a new comment or choose from a list of predefined comments, depending on your permission level.

  3. Click the button at the right of the Comment box.

    Compliance Accelerator displays a comment indicator in the Comment present column of the item list to show that you have added the comment.

    Click the Comments tab at the bottom of the Reading pane to view the comments assigned to an item. You can also customize the item list columns to add a column that shows the comments on items.
