Comment Report

Comment reporting can help you follow up on workflow, track progress, and review the quality of comments being added.

The data shown within the report will depend on the date range and any other criteria you filter by.

When searching by record type, results will be returned for primary comments, this means the comment was directly added to that record type. However, you can also include linked comments. This will return secondary comments in your results which are comments linked to other primary record types.

For example, if a comment has been added against a placement record (primary), and that comment is linked to an applicant record (secondary), when searching for just applicants comments, and choosing to include linked comments, the placement comment will also be returned and displayed in the results.

When searching Comment text you are able to use Full Text (Boolean) search criteria, please see the Full Text (Boolean) Searching article for more information.

The Go To button at the foot of the report will go to the primary record of the selected comment, and if that comment is linked to other records you will have the option to navigate to those records too.

There is also a refresh button, which will update the report if data has changed elsewhere while the report is open.

For information on exporting the report please see the Data Exports article.
