Commenting Submissions
Add comments and notes to submissions for team collaboration.
Daxium-Air allows you to comment on submissions so your teams can exchange on the data they report. This is particularly useful for asking for details about a submission before validating it, for example.
Commenting on the web
The comment feature is available on every submission, regardless of which view (table, gallery, map, calendar, etc.) you are accessing it from.
The feature is also available in both submission layouts: standard and summary.
Reading & writing comments
Clicking the comments button opens a side panel with the comment section. The comment feature allows you to:
Write a comment, and format it with markdown (Bold, Italic, Underline, Bullet & Numbered lists, URLs)
Reply to a comment (the replies are collapsible & expandable)
Delete a comment
Edit a comment (it will have the "Edited" mention afterwards)
Reorder comments from oldest to newest or the other way around.
Receiving notifications
The feature also includes a notification system. Each time a comment is added to a submission you are assigned to, you will get a notification. The notification will be available on the bell on the top right of your screen. Clicking on the link will lead you to the submission & comment.
To receive notifications for every comment added to a submission, you must be assigned to that submission. If you are not assigned to it, you will only be notified when someone replies to a comment you wrote yourself.
Tip — notify the submission creator of every comment. If you want the person who created a submission to be notified each time someone comments on it, you can wire this up automatically:
Add a simple workflow to your form and set up assignation (a user field designated as the assignee in the workflow settings).
Create an automation triggered when the submission is created, of the Modify the value of a field type. Select the user field that defines the assignee and fill it with the submission's creator.
This way the creator is automatically assigned at creation and receives a notification for every comment.
Remember a single user can only have 1,000 submissions assigned at a time, so also set up an automation to unassign the creator after a delay (for example, once the submission reaches a final workflow state).
Commenting on the mobile
The same features are available on mobile, both Android and iOS. Notifications are sent via the standard push notification system, like all other Daxium-Air mobile notifications.
