Adding New Comments Directly

You can add new comments directly in the Comment column.

  1. Perform one of the following steps:
    • Click the Comment field of the run to which you want to apply comments.
    • Right-click anywhere on the row of the run to which you want to apply comments. From the shortcut menu, select Add New Comment.
    The Comment dialog appears.
  2. Click Add.
    The Select Comment dialog appears.
  3. Click New.
  4. From the User Type list, choose the appropriate user type. (The Comments User Types are defined in Trapeze FX Ancillary data. Contact your system administrator for more information.)
  5. In the Abbr. field, type an abbreviation for the new comment.
  6. In the text frame below the Abbr. field, type your comment.
  7. (Optional) To attach the trip schedule to a report, type a symbol in the Symbol field. The symbol is shorter than an abbreviation (maximum of four characters).
    The full comment associated with the symbol is shown at the end of the report.
  8. Click Save.
    The new comment is added to the list in the Comments frame. For example, as shown in the graphic in step 3, the abbreviation “ABC” is highlighted in the Comment frame of the Select Comment dialog. The full text of the comment appears in the middle frame.
  9. Click Assign.
    The selected abbreviation appears in the Comment field of the run in the Runs screen. If you do not click this button, the comment remains on the Comments list but is not applied to any run.
  10. Click Close.
