Level Comments

Level Comments

In the Level Properties Comments you can type any information or copy and paste text relevant to a Level 3. You can manage your commentary by adding several different comments (preferable), or typing into the one comments field. A Processing Date and Time column displays the datetime stamp of the last edit made to a comment row.

 

Add a Comment

  1. Select the Level Properties tab in the Main Panel.
  2. To add a comment, after focusing your mouse on the Comments table, click New in the Quick Access Toolbar. A new Comments window will appear.
  3. Give your comment a Name.
  4. Enter or paste any text into the main body of the comment.
  5. Click OK. The Comment window will close and the new comment will appear in the Comment table.
  6. To save your comment(s) as change in the Level Properties table, click Save in the Quick Access Toolbar. Otherwise when you Close the Level Properties tab you will be prompted to save your changes.

Note

The Comment window in DataSight level properties is modeless. Modeless windows can be minimised or hidden from view behind other windows without closing them. This means that the Comment form stays active until dismissed, which allows you to write comments on the go as you work in DataSight.

 

Modify Comments

  1. Select the Edit button  in the comment row you wish to change. The comment window will appear.
  2. Change the text for that comment as needed. Click OK or you can also keep the modeless comment window open while working on your database to continue to add comments as and when you wish and then save.
  3. You will also be prompted to save the level comments when you close the Level Properties tab.

 

Delete a Comment

  1. Select the Level Properties tab in the Main Panel. You can also right-click on a level 3 site and select Properties.
  2. In the comments section, click to check the Delete checkbox(es) against any comment(s) that you wish to delete.
  3. Click Save in the Quick Access Toolbar at any point to save changes and continue, otherwise when you Close the Level Properties tab you will be prompted to save your changes.

Note

Find text in the comments window using the right-click menu on the group header. The Standard Filters and Filter Editors are available for your text search.
