Usage Considerations

When using the Comments and History dialog box, be aware of the following:

• When you click OK, the system records any comments you entered and places them in the Template History.
• The Template History section retains a history of the following actions that have occurred for each template row:
  • Template Authoring Marked as Final
  • Template Marked Ready for Review
  • Template Checked Out
  • Template Checked In
  • Template Marked Ready for Build
• The template history box is not editable.
• The format of this history is as follows:
  • Row A-Left "Action: <action from the above listed items>"

    If no action occurs, do not print any text.

  • Row B-Left "Comments: <any comments entered>"

    If no comments exist for the action, do not print any text.

    Comments should display up to 255 characters (which is the limit on the comments box) and should wrap if needed.

  • Row 1-Right "<username>" aligned right

    Always print row 1-Right.

  • Row 2-Right Time date stamp "dd-mmm-yyyy HH:mm" aligned right.

    Always print row 2-Right.

    TimeDate Stamp shows the local time.

  • The Template History displays the history in descending order. (i.e., most recent record on top).
  • Template history records are separated by a line (¼ point).
  • You can enter comments without any action being completed. In this case only the comment will be recorded.
