The Basics

Comments are related to items within the system and are also collected in the communication module. When viewing items throughout BuildTools, you can leave comments that remain attached to that item. These comments can include tags to any internal user/employee and will be sent to those users in the form of an e-mail.

Navigation

Throughout the system, you have the ability to comment on items.  The form looks like the example below.  Past comments appear in the top pane, and the lower pane allows you to add a new comment.  If you'd like to send the comment to a specific user, use the "@" symbol and then begin to type the users name.  A list of matching users will appear for selection. 

Once a comment is posted, it will appear both on the item's comment pane, and in the main communication window.  

Note: The power of comments is the ability to attach them to the individual items in the system, and the ability to specifi users that will receive notice using the @ symbol.
