Data-level commentary is commonly used in real-life scenarios. EDITable allows you to add comments to individual cells, rows and columns in a table to provide context to your data, collaborate with your team by tagging them, and assign tasks. All of these features are available without the need for any coding.
Here are the key highlights of the commentary solution provided by EDITable:
Add comments and annotations to individual cells, rows and columns.
Add a dedicated comment column to add row-level comments.
Tag users and stakeholders using @mention and reply to others' comments.
Tagged members are notified through an email instantly with the relevant link to take action at a data point level.
Assign tasks and collaborate with your team, especially for workflow use cases.
Using the commentary audit log, track tasks and audit the entire list of comments, including details like who wrote them, what they wrote, and when (date and time).
Comments are always associated with a specific data point, row, or column, so when the data is filtered, the comment appears at the appropriate location.
The comments feature is located at the top of the toolbar, near your user profile.
You can add formatted data-level comments which are saved securely to the database, along with details such as author and time stamp.
Select a cell/column. The 'Add a comment' icon gets enabled. Click on the icon.
