Adding a Comment to an ER Object
Go Up to Working with ER Object Comments
If your ER/Studio Team Server installation does not have a license for Team Server user connections (so it is not possible for the user to log in as a social user), you can add comments to ER objects from ER/Studio Team Server.
Comments let you describe the purpose of ER objects, and highlight certain features to which you want to draw attention. For example, you may want to use comments to provide feedback to the author of the model.
Note: Only non-social users can add comments following the instructions described in this page. If you have a social user profile, you can add comments using the Discussions Tab at the navigation sidebar, as explained in Starting a Discussion about a Resource. For more information, see Using Social Features.
To add a comment to an ER object:
- Go to the description page of the target ER object.
- Expand the Comments section, at the bottom of the page.
- Click Add comment. A text field and two buttons appear.
- Write your comment in the text field.
- Click Add to add your comment to the ER object.
Your comment is added to the target ER object description page, where any other non-social user can see it.
Super users can configure ER/Studio Team Server so that your comments are not published until a super user reviews them. In that case, you receive the following message after you write a comment to an ER object:
- "Comment added. It will be viewable once the moderator has approved it."
For more information, see Comment Moderation Page.
- Note: When you synchronize ER/Studio Team Server with ER/Studio Repository, comments are synchronized as well. Synchronization works both ways: comments in ER/Studio Team Server become available in ER/Studio Data Architect or ER/Studio Business Architect, and comments in ER/Studio Data Architect or ER/Studio Business Architect become available in ER/Studio Team Server.
