Adding Cell Comments

You can add one or more comments per data cell.

Each data cell can contain comments from multiple users. You can also add the same comment in a range of contiguous data cells. Cells that contain comments can be associated with a cell style.

The character limit set in Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud is applied.

Depending on the permission level assigned to you by the administrator, you may be able to do any of the following in a data cell:

  • Add comments
  • Add same comment to contiguous or adjacent cell ranges at the same time.
  • View the comments that you and other users have added
  • Delete comments that you have entered.

    Note:

    You cannot delete comments entered by other users.

    When you delete a comment, a dialog box asking you to confirm the deletion is not displayed.
