Adding General Comments

When you add a new comment to a business process form, it remains as a draft until you send the form to the next step in the workflow. Comments are editable in the draft stage, you cannot modify the comment once it has been sent to the next step. Comments that are in draft mode and editable have the Edit icon. By default comments you post are automatically hidden, you can uncheck the Hide box to make comments public. Private draft comments have the following hidden icon next to them and when the records moves to the next step in the workflow, the hidden icon changes to red .

  1. Open a business process record.
  2. Select the main form (Record Details) tab.
  3. From the right pane, select the Comments tab.
  4. Click the Attachment button.

    Note: The Comments box does not recognize formatting, including line breaks. Even if you press the Enter key to make a new line in the Text Comments section, the final comment will not reflect the new line.
