If you have read access to a cell, you can add annotations called comments to the cell at any level. You can add comments at the summary time period level and across multiple dimensions at any level. You can also add comments for non-level 0 members (bottom-up versions), calculated cells (dynamic calc), and read-only cells. For example, you can add explanations for data analysis of variances and rolling forecasts.
Use supporting detail to build and communicate bottom-up values such as travel, where you calculate aggregate values. See Working with Supporting Detail.
Add account annotations to comment on account data. You can annotate different combinations of scenarios, versions, and entities. See Using Account Annotations and Custom Links.
Enter text directly into cells whose data type is set to text (see Entering Text Values).
You can also view comments in a PDF file or a printed report. See Printing Comments. |
To add, view, or edit comments:
Open the data form to which you want to add, view, or edit comments.
Click in a cell or select a range of contiguous cells.
A triangle in the cell's upper-right corner indicates that it contains comments (or drill-through data or cell-level documents).
If you clicked in a cell, right-click, and then select Insert Comment, View Comment, or Delete Comment.
If you selected contiguous cells, select Edit, then Comment.
In Comment, add, view or edit comments.
By default, you can enter up to 1,500 characters. If you selected a cell range, you can enter comments for each cell.
Applicable messages display in the content area at the top of the data form.
