The Comment Button allows you to view the comments or text notes that have been created for the current record. The Comment Button Button will “toggle” or display a different icon based on whether or not there are comment records present in the system for the selected record (to let you know when a comment is present for the selected customer, contact, order, or other database record).
When the Comments Button is selected, the system activates a program to display either one or more comment records (based on the type of record that is selected, and the program that you are selecting the button from).
In some cases, the comment button will activate the Comment Detail Panel which is used to display, create, or edit a single comment associated with the selected record.
In other cases, the comment button may cause the system to display 2 or more comments for the current record, or activate a list that displays all of the comments associated with the selected record.
Examples:
• If you are viewing an invoice line item, and you press the comment button, the system will display the Invoice Header and the Invoice Line Item comments (if any) that have been created for the invoice line.
• If you are viewing an invoice header and you select the comment button, the system will display the Invoice Header Comment and the AR Comments for the invoice.
• If you are viewing a list of the customers in the system and you press the comment button, the system will display the Comment List program which displays a list of all of the comments that have been created for the selected customer.
