Comments by status
Comments are the conversation about the drawings, and Communication → Comments is all of it in one grid.
Where to look
Communication → Comments has five tabs: All, and one per status — Open, Approved, Approved with comments, Rejected. Each row reads outwards from the comment: its content, status, author and date; then the revision it is on, the document that revision belongs to, and the transmittal it came back on. Any of the last three can be empty — a comment on a transmittal has no revision, a comment on a space has neither.
Three ways to narrow it:
- a tab for a status;
- the magnifier for a word — it searches every cell in the grid;
- a sort on Created by to count per author.
What you should see
The Rejected tab with its footer count; the Open tab sorted on Created by, with one name running four rows long; and the word you searched for, highlighted in the one row that carries it.

Why this is an exercise
Who said what about which drawing is the question a document controller is asked most often, and the answer is never in the e-mail. It is here, with the status telling you whether anybody has answered yet.
If you are stuck
Each answer, with the screen it is read from. Open one only after you have looked yourself — the point is the looking.
How many comments have been rejected?
The Rejected tab; the footer reads 1 to 2 of 2.
On which transmittal did the duplex comment come back?
The magnifier, then type duplex. One row: on rev. B of the fuel oil system diagram, and the transmittal column at the far right says TR-008.
Who has raised the most open comments?
The Open tab, then click Created by once. Anders Solberg runs four rows long; nobody else has more than two.
Which document is the bunk comment against?
Search bunk on the All tab. One row, Approved with comments, against R2417-510-001 rev. B — the accommodation refurbishment general arrangement.
