How Project Comments Can Help You

Ensure you and your colleagues are always up to date on all project information by adding comments to a project in Meisterplan. With this beta version, you will be able to leave comments in the information panel of a project to exchange information with other Meisterplan users. This lets you keep all important project information in one easy location.

As the Comments feature is further developed, you will be able to mention and notify your colleagues of open questions, action items or other important project information.

The Comments functionality is available in all Meisterplan systems as a beta version.

How Project Comments Work

Required User Rights

Project Comments do not require specific user rights. Every user can see and add comments to all projects.

Where to Find Comments

Select a project and click the comments icon in the right sidebar to open the Information Panel in your view. You can find Project Comments in the following views:

• Portfolio Designer
• Team Planner
• Project List
• Board
• Roadmap

Project Comments are global and identical across all scenarios. Below the time stamp, every comment displays the scenario in which it was created. This helps you understand which project version the comment refers to.

How To Add and Delete Comments

Click the comment field and enter the desired text:

Next, click the send icon. Your comment will be displayed with your name, the time stamp and the scenario in which you added your comment.

To add your comment, move your cursor over the comment and click the trash can icon. You can only delete your own comments.

What Will Be Added in the Future

We are continuously improving the Comment functionality. The following features will be implemented in the near future:

• Mention and notify your colleagues in your comments.
• Receive email notifications when:
• a comment is added to a project on which you are the project manager
• you are mentioned in a comment on any project
• Verify your email address to be able to receive email notifications.
• Choose whether you want to receive email notifications in your user profile.
