The Comments Tab is where you can keep internal comments about Agencies and Surveys. Above the table are some select boxes for finding and listing comments. In order to get a list of comments you must select an Agency from the Select Agency select box. Once you have selected comments for an Agency you can filter the comments by either Year or Topic. Selected comments will be listed in the table, sorted by when they were last edited in descending order. The Selected Comments text box will also tell you how many comments are in the list. To edit or just view the full comment information, click the edit icon at the end of each comment record.
