Overview

The Comments page can be used to record comments for some entities in Callista SMS, e.g. Admission Applications (from ADMW1000).
These comments are a means of communicating extra information about the entity, and other users can add or respond to them as appropriate.
To record or view comments on this page, click on the button on the calling page.
This opens the Comments pop up, where the comments and replies are listed in order.
The number of comments unread by you, is displayed as part of the Comments button on the calling page.
In the Comments page, the comments can also be sorted or marked as read, however they cannot be deleted once they have been added.

Background Colours

• Unread comments and replies have a yellow background.
• Comments that have been 'marked as read' have a white background.
• Replies that have been 'marked as read' have a grey background.
• Note: All comments and replies created by you are automatically 'marked as read' for you.
