This article applies to versions 4.3.2 and earlier of P2 Explorer.\u00a0For help on the latest version of the Comments Button, see Comments Button<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Overview<\/h3>\n

The Comments Button displays a small icon which, when clicked, launches a floating window that allows the user to enter and view comments relating to a specific entity and context. The comments are stored in P2 Server and can be viewed anywhere in Explorer where the same context is used.<\/p>\n

The following diagram shows a comments button:<\/p>\n

Start Date\/Time<\/strong>:<\/td>\nThe\u00a0date\/time from which to display comments. This will be entered as the default start of the search date range.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
End Date\/Time<\/strong>:<\/td>\nThe date\/time at which to stop displaying comments.\u00a0This will be entered as the default end\u00a0of the search date range.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Entity:<\/strong><\/td>\nThe\u00a0entity that all these comments apply to. All comments entered in this box will apply to this entity.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Context:<\/strong><\/td>\nThe situation in which these comments apply. All comments entered in this box will have this context. If another comment box is placed on another page, with this same context and for the same entity, the comments for both will appear in both comment boxes. If the entity is the same but the context is different, the comments will be shown independently.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Tutorial<\/span><\/h3>\n

In this tutorial, we\u2019ll look at adding two Comment Buttons to a schematic diagram that displays comments on Tubing Head Pressure and Tubing Head Pressure. We'll then create another page to show how the context allows the comments to appear on different displays in P2 Explorer.<\/p>\n

When creating a schematic, usually the first thing we want to is add a background image. Let's use the Image<\/a> component to do this.<\/p>\n
