All members of a Method Grid account can leave a comment on a specific grid, element, stage gate or task. Comments can be a great way for members of your account to collaborate on the development of a grid
To add a comment to a specific grid, first open up the grid, then click on the comment action button (speech bubble) on the grid action bar in the top right - below the main menu bar, this will reveal the comment dropdown. Type your comment and click the save (tick) button to commit the comment to the thread.
To add a comment to a specific element, first open up the element. Next, click on the comment action button (speech bubble) on the element action bar in the top right, this will reveal the comment dropdown. Type your comment and click the save (tick) button to commit the comment to the thread.
To add a comment to a specific stage gate, first open up the stage gate. Next, click on the comment action button (speech bubble) on the stage gate action bar in the top right, this will reveal the comment dropdown. Type your comment and click the save (tick) button to commit the comment to the thread.
You can communicate and collaborate on any individual task by clicking on the comment (speech bubble) button alongside each task, tasks with unread comments are indicated by a darkened comment button.
You can also @mention specific colleagues to bring a comment to their direct attention.
To use, simply type the “@” symbol and a list of your colleagues will appear, you can select as many as you like and when you are ready to type your message simply click back into the text box.
When a comment with an @mention is sent, there is additional functionality to bring it to the notice of your tagged colleague.
If the @mentioned colleague is not logged into Method Grid and reading the comments then, at the next notification sweep, which takes place every four hours, they will receive an email from Method Grid making them aware of this new comment.
Comments, at the task, stage gate, element and grid levels, appear in an updated interface along with the ability for comments to be edited and deleted by the comment creator.
Edited comments are annotated with the “Edited” tag aside the comment date-time stamp (which always stays at the point of original creation).
