Convenient Comments

Convenient Comments is a Business Central extension that makes viewing and editing comments as well as getting your comments to the appropriate documents much more convenient!

Why Convenient Comments?

Convenient Comments simplifies comment management by automatically handling long comments, providing direct access with comment factboxes, triggering notifications for important details, and enabling quick detection of existing comments. With advanced features like Document Group Codes and easy setup, it enhances efficiency and decision-making within Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

How Convenient Comments Works

Convenient Comments seamlessly integrates into Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, adding features that make working with comments much more convenient.

An example of this is the intuitive Comment Editor for quick multi-line text entry. It automatically splits long text sequences into separate comment line records and respects/retains the line-breaks. Ideal for quick and easy comment entry!

Furthermore, Comment Factboxes are added throughout Business Central to allow for quick insight and easy access to the comments linked to selected records.

You can set up Special Comments for customers, vendors and items, which will be displayed to users when they open a page for a document in which they are used.

Other features include, but are not limited to:

• Comment Indicators - Quickly identify whether a document or its lines have any comments.
• Comment Propagation - Define comments on the Customer/Vendor/Item/Resource/G/L Account/Service Item card page and automatically have them propagated to documents in which they are used.
• Comments on Customer/Vendor Ledger Entries

If you need even more, then Convenient Comments Pro offers even more advanced features like the Fixed Comments feature, that allows you to define reusable comment sets, and the Document Group Codes feature for tailored comment inclusion in reports.
