Home > Oracle Analytics > Catalog

Here's what to do

1. Note: You can also work with comments in this same way when a view is rendered as a diagram in a dashboard.
   Open or edit the scorecard. See "Opening or Editing a Scorecard".
2. Open the view in which you want to work with comments and navigate to the Diagram tab. For how to open an object, see "Opening Scorecard Objects".
3. Ensure that the values that are displayed in the point of view area reflect the desired context for the comment. (For example, you might want to comment on a KPI status for the Eastern region.)
4. To add a new comment:
   1. Click the Options button on the right side of the node to which you want to add the comment and select Add Comment from the Node Options Menu.
   2. Complete the Add Comment dialog and click OK.
5. To work with the comments that were previously added to an object, hover the mouse pointer over the Comment button in the upper-right corner of the node.

   The Status window is displayed with all the comments that are attached to the initiative, objective, or KPI. From this window, you can:

   • Read the comments that were previously added.

   • Display the New Comment dialog to add a new comment by clicking New Comment.

   • Display the Reply dialog to reply to a comment by clicking the Reply link.

   • Pin the window so that it stays open by clicking the Pin button.
