Comments and history


 


 

What are comments?

Comments allow project members to communicate with each other. High-level authorities can use them to dispatch orders to their subordinates. Above all, the most important aspect of this feature is that it allows members belonging to different ranks share their ideas, discuss what they are doing, and work towards the betterment of the project.

Mentions

The comments field is enhanced with '@mentions' and special entity keywords to notify the users and entity owners. Below are a few examples of keywords.

@PROJECT_OWNER --> to notify the project owner.
@TASK_OWNER --> to notify the task owner.

These keywords can be used only if the entity owner is assigned to the respective entities.

For Projects, Milestones and Project Tasks, users with view permission to the entity can be mentioned in a comment. But for other tasks(Request, Problem), all the technicians from the user's site can be mentioned. Users can be mentioned using user id while adding comments through APIs. For example, @[user:4] where 4 is the user id. Users mentioned in the comment will be notified by email (if email id is provided for the user) and through Technician Space notification. In addition, the 'reply' option is provided to keep a track of responses to the comments. The user who has posted the comment can edit/delete the comment. But the entity owner can only delete the comment.
