Add Comments

The Add Comment page allows users of the Submittal module to add comments to individual submittal items. As a subcontractors, you can add comments as long as it is in your court. Once the item is sent off to another resource, you will no longer be able to add comments.

The following topics will assist you in adding comments:

The fields and buttons on this page are:

  • Save: Click to save changes.
  • Check Spelling: Click to check the spelling of text fields.
  • Cancel: Click to discard changes. All unsaved changes will be lost.
  • Submittal Item: Displays name of the submittal item.
  • Comment: Enter your comment in this field.
  • Private: Displays only if you are in a role that has the permissions to add private comments. Select to make your comment private. Only users in roles that are able to see private comments will be able to view this message. If the submittal coordinator decides to include a Private comment in the final package to construction (Shown in Review), then the comment's visibility may automatically be changed to Public. For more information on this setting, see Manage Private Comments.
