Considerations about commenting on a record

  • You can add comments and replies to records in Workfront Planning, in the Comments section of a record.

  • Comments added to linked records do not display on the records you are linking from. For example, if you comment on a Workfront Planning Product record that is linked to a Campaign record, the comment displays only on the Product record in Workfront Planning and not on the Campaign record from which you are linking.

  • You can add comments to Workfront Planning records created as a result of a connection between a record and an object from another application.

    For example, you can comment on the Project Workfront Planning record after you connect Workfront projects with Workfront Planning records. For more information, see Connect records.

  • Comments added to linked objects in other applications do not display in Workfront Planning and comments added to linked objects in Workfront Planning do not display in other applications.

    For example, comments added to projects in Workfront do not display on the same project linked to a campaign in Workfront Planning, and comments added to the project Workfront Planning record don’t display in Workfront.

  • You can tag users to bring their attention to an update. Tagged users do not receive an in-app notification or an email about your update.

  • You can tag users to bring their attention to an update. Tagged users receive an in-app notification or an email notification about your update.

    NOTE
    Only users from customers who have onboarded with the Adobe Unified Experience receive both an in-app notification and an email notification. To determine whether your company is using the Adobe Unified Experience, see Adobe Unified Experience for Workfront.
  • You can add an update to records and review the history of changes from the following areas of Workfront Planning:

    • From the record details page.
    • From a view, in the record details box.
