Exploring comments (tabular view)
Comments in tabular view consists of a header, a ribbon, and a tabular view for interacting with comments created in topics.
Above the ribbon, the total number of comments in the table view appears. For example, Comments (5) indicates that "5" is the total number of comments in the current table view.
Each row in the table contains a single comment, ordered newest (at the top) through oldest (at the bottom). Although replies are not shown in the table, they do affect comment order. Actions (such as delete and change status) that you make on a comment can affect replies, too.
| Column | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Check Box | Select one or more comments to be affected by a group action (such as delete or change status). Clicking the selection check box in the column header selects or de-selects all rows on the active page. |
| Author | Shows who made the comment. You can filter comments by author. |
| Comment | Shows the first 320 characters of the comment. If the comment is longer, an ellipsis is added to the end of the visible portion of the comment. |
| Topic | Shows active links to the topic (not available from Publication Manager). You can click this link to open the topic in a new window where you can view replies, or add them. For detached comments in publications that no longer exist, the link is not active. For detached comments in topics that no longer exist, clicking the link will briefly display a Topic has been deleted and cannot be opened message and then disable the link. |
| Publication | Shows the publication that contains the topic commented on (not available in Publication Manager). You can filter comments by publication, as a topic may be referenced in multiple publications. |
| Replies | Shows the number of replies that have been made to each comment. |
| Status | Shows the current status icon for the comment.
You can change the status using either of these methods:
You can filter comments by status by clicking on the filter icon clicking a status type from the drop-down list. |
| Modified | Shows when a comment was last modified.
The modification order and dates are updated automatically. For example, if you add a reply to a comment that is lower in the table and then refresh the table:
You can filter comments by modification date by clicking on the filter icon and specifying start and end dates. |
