What are comments?

Comments are pieces of text which can be placed on an element. These can be used to give information to the production workers, for example to inform them about certain things to consider when producing the element. The comments can be displayed on the layouts, and in the hsbMake clients on screens.

How does it work?

Comments can be placed using the tsl hsb_CommentManagement. When running this tsl the following screen shows:

General

In the general section the action can be defined, to Place a comment or to Edit a comment. Also you can choose to show the Edit Comments screen. This will show all the comments on the element, where you can edit them.

Add Comment

In the Add Comment section, you can choose an existing comment catalogue to be used. Also you have the ability here to define what kind of comment you want to add. There are different commentstyles:

No location comment

A comment with no location is a general comment added to the element. This is mainly used in hsbMake on the client screens to show a general element comment. See image below.
