Maintain reusable comment Text for Process handling.

Overview

Common Comments collect high-frequency handling wording for Approval, Reject, Completed, On Hold, and similar actions. After administrators maintain them centrally, users can quickly select comments during Process handling. This reduces repeated input and keeps Process comments consistent Within Enterprise.

The Common Comments list Supports viewing comment Content, Last Modified By, and Last Modified On. You can Edit or Delete existing comments.

Completed comments	Task Completed, Account Confirmed, or Documents archived
On Hold comments	Waiting for Account Reply or External System result
Notification comments	Please ask the leader for instructions, please note, or please provide comments

Comment Content should be short and clear. Avoid including Account privacy, Amount details, account information, Date values, or one-time items in Common Comments.

Management suggestions

Regularly remove Duplicate or outdated comments.
Maintain cross-Department common wording first.
For strict compliance scenarios, confirm standard wording with the Business Owner.
Use general expressions in comment Text, and avoid specific Account, Amount, Date, or one-time information.
For comments that are common but similar in meaning, keep one standard expression to reduce user selection cost.
