Comment on and sign reports
Comments mark a time range of a report, for the whole report or for one parameter, and everyone who can open the report sees them. A signature confirms that you reviewed the readings. Who may comment, sign, and delete, and how comments are shown, is in Comments.
You need the operator, editor, admin, or owner role. If the report shows no Comment or Sign button, ask an editor to turn on Add comments or Sign report under On the report. A quick report accepts comments only after it is saved.
Add a comment
