Add a comment to a report in Desktop Viewer
You can add and respond to comments in any report to which you have access. Comments appear in the report and, optionally, in the Fact pane. If you have the role of designer or administrator, you can also copy comments from a previous report version into the current report version, which overwrites any existing comments.
Comments can be added to all user-defined financial dimension rows, calculation rows, and total rows.
