Enter and view comments

You can optionally enter comments on the work item page. Comments can be viewed by trackers of the workflow and by participants at subsequent steps who are allowed (in the workflow definition) to view workflow history or status.

To enter a comment

On the work item page, click in the Comment field and type your comment.

While you can enter more than 500 characters, after you complete the work item only the first 80 characters will be visible (via the History page or the Step History tab in the Tracker window). The entire comment is visible not only as you enter it, but also if you:

  • Reassign the work item to another user. This can be useful for providing additional instructions for the participant to whom you reassign the work.
  • Save the in-progress work item for later completion. When you re-open this work item page, you will see the entire comment.

TIP To view comments entered at a previous step, click the History button or the Status button if these options are available. See View history and View status for additional information.
