Adding and Viewing Graphic Markups and Comments

You can add text comments or graphical markups to a document in project/shell Documents. You can even add a file attachment directly to the comment, for example, supporting documentation.

Comments and markups can be added to the latest version of a document only. You can view but not add or modify comments or markups made to previous versions. If a listed comment was entered using the previous Oracle Outside In Technology (OIT) technology, the comment is labeled OIT Comment and is displayed in a read-only format.

Text comments are like notes that accompany the document but do not become part of it.

Markups can be thought of as an invisible layer, like a sheet of acetate that can be laid over the document. If multiple users create markups, each markup is on a separate sheet and can be viewed together, one at a time, or not at all. Markups are always associated with a text comment.

Text comments and graphic markups can be copied between business process records and the Document Manager, including:

Comments added to documents in the Document Manager
General comments added to business process records
Comments added to file attachments on non-Document-type BP records
Comments added to file attachments (line item content) of Document-type BP records
Markups on file attachments that have been added to comments
