Comments Field
A comments field allows users to add additional comments to a work activity.
Comment Type categories bring structured classification to comments that crews can use to tag comments with a predefined category via a simple selection even when working offline. This ensures that clear and consistent context is assigned to a comment, making it easier for other users to understand and prioritize the information relayed in the comment.
You can select a Comment Type when adding comments to work orders, inspections, and service requests.
Comment Type categories are preconfigured by your administrator in Trimble Unity Admin. See Configure Custom Codes Preferences in the Admin Guide for Trimble Unity Maintain and Trimble Unity Permit for more information. If no categories are configured, the Comment Type drop-down field remains hidden or unavailable, and you can still enter standard comment text.
- Next to the comments field, tap Add.
The Add Comments panel opens.
- Tap the Comment Type drop-down list and select a comment type (for example, Supervisor Remark or Additional Information).
- Tap the comments field to enter your comments.
- Tap Add.
The comment is added.
