Policy Comments

If policy level comments are available, and if you have the proper security privileges, then you will see a Comments link on the Entity Navigation list. You will also see an Add Comments link on the Action list below the navigation list.

When adding a comment, messages can be added via a text box in the Policy Comment window, or predefined comment templates can be selected. There is also an option to hide the comment from view. The ability to see comments posted by other users is controlled through security.

View Deleted Comments

Once a comment is deleted, it obtains a shadowed status and will not return in any comment searches.

You must also select the type of comment. For example, to view all deleted activity comments, check the Shadowed box and the Activity box. All deleted activity comments will display.

A History button is available for all comments, when the comment is open. You will see all activity that was logged against that comment, including delete actions.
