Introduction

Comments can be added to many different types of objects.

  • Incidents
  • Problems (Notes)
  • Changes
  • Releases (Notes)
  • Solutions
  • Portal Incidents

In some instances comments display as Notes. Comments and notes have the same functionality, but comments support @mentions and notes do not.

Comments are the best place to document work done "on the record". Using comments you can communicate with the end user via public comments and with other agents via private comments.
