Visual Quality - Comments

Visual Quality is the Windows (or Desktop) program in the Visual Quality Enterprise product suite. This program primarily targets users who maintain the quality management system, i.e. create document, approve, create registration forms and databases, build registration workflows, create and maintain handbooks, users, security and more.

Visual Quality - Comments

Just like actions, comments are associated with documents. All users in Visual Quality can create comments to a document.
It is typically the document responsible (the document approvers for an approved or valid document, or the author for a draft document) who will respond to the comments.

This page gives you an overview of document comments in Visual Quality.
