Comments
The Comments functionality allows you to view, edit, add, or delete comments associated with a queue for a subapplication. The Comments button is available on every Workflow queue screen. However, for PDM National Review queues, you will need to select the Comments icon for the desired subapplication to access the Comments functionality.

Any user can add comments to any queue for a subapplication to which he or she has access. However, you can view the comments without having to check out the queue.

Remember, you must provide comments for a disapproved queue before forwarding to the next queue.

Alex will show you how to add a comment to a subapplication in a queue.
