You can add and respond to comments in any report that you have access to. Comments appear in the report and, optionally, in the Fact pane . If you have the role of designer or administrator, you can also copy comments from a previous report version into the current report version, which overwrites any existing comments.

Comments can be added to all user-defined financial dimension rows, calculation rows, and total rows.

Add a comment to a report

  1. Open a report in Report Viewer.

  2. Right-click a row in the report to comment on, and then click Add Comment.

  3. Type your comments in the Commentdialogue box.

  4. Click OK. The comment is displayed in the fact pane. When you close your report, the comments are saved with it.

  1. Open a report in Report Viewer.

  2. From the toolbar, click Copy Comments. The Report Versionsdialogue box opens.

  3. Select the version of a report that contains the comments that you want to copy.
