Example Usage

There are many reasons why comments might be added to workflow assessments; however, here are a few example use cases:

  • Recording decisions.
  • Seeking feedback from other team members.
  • Asking other team members questions on the assessment subject matter.
  • Requesting approvals from other team members to action specific stages of the workflow.
  • Recording notes on next steps to progress the workflow. For example, if a workflow has not progressed, a note can be recorded as to why it is on hold.

Simply click on the edit icon for Comment mention notifications to change the email notification subject and email body. You can also add dynamic system values to the email subject and body including the name of the recipient, the Assessment ID, Assessment Name and Assessment Description. Using the Insert Button option in the email body editor you can also insert a button that links directly to the comment when clicked by the recipient. The button text is easily changed by double clicking on the button text and typing in your desired button name or call to action.
