Comment Groups

Comment Groups allow you to group comments together by dataset, phase, or tag, allowing for better report structure and clarity.

Dataset: A dataset is assigned to a Findings control and represents different fetuses. For example, a Fetal Echo Report for multiples might have Fetus A, Fetus B, and Fetus C as its datasets.
- CRA always displays dataset headings in the CRA Workspace and report preview for the Conclusions Findings control.
Phase: A phase represents a stage or step of the diagnostic process. For example, a Stress Echo Report might contain the phases Rest, Peak, and Post.
Tag: A tag is assigned to a Findings control. You can use tags to define the order of findings in the Conclusions Findings control.

Datasets, phases, and tags are configured by your System Administrator.

Comment Groups in a Regular Findings Control

When you create a comment in CRA, you can add the comment to any available phase.
When you create or select a comment, CRA adds the comment into the configured phase subgroup. The phase subgroup is added in the order configured in Design Manager.
If you select a comment, the comment will only be available for the phase it was configured in.
CRA allows you to add duplicate comments in different combinations of datasets, phases, or tags.

If you create a comment in the Conclusions Findings control, you can add the comment to any dataset, tag, and phase available for the Findings control.
If you select a comment for one dataset (for example, Fetus A), the comment is still available for other datasets.
If you select a comment for one tag, the comment is still available for other tags.
CRA uses the default tag selection "---." When CRA loads, Synapse scrolls to display the selected tab.
When you create or select a comment, CRA adds the comment into the configured phase and tag subgroup. The phase and tag subgroups are added in the order configured in Design Manager.
CRA allows you to add duplicate comments in different dataset, phase, or tag combinations.
If you want to add a comment without a dataset or tag, add the comment under the null dataset or tag (---).

CRA uses grouping headers to categorize comments.
If your site is not configured to display tag or phase headings, CRA displays the headers in the report workspace, but not in the report preview.
CRA always displays the dataset headings in the report workspace and report preview.

You can reorder comments within a subgroup by dragging and dropping the comments.
You cannot move comments to other comment groups.

You can reorder subgroups by dragging and dropping the subgroups.
If your site is configured to use datasets, you cannot move a subgroup to a different dataset group.
When you reorder subgroups, CRA adds additional subgroups to the end.
If you reorder a dataset, CRA moves all subgroups belonging to the dataset along with the dataset.
After you reorder datasets, CRA adds additional datasets to the end.
If you delete all the comments from a subgroup, changes you made to the order no longer apply.

Depending on your site configuration, AutoSummary routines might insert comments using datasets, tags, or phases specified in the AutoSummary script.

When you use report Carry Over, Synapse adds carried over comments to the appropriate Comment Group.
Comments from regular Findings controls in earlier Synapse versions will carry over to the new Findings control without a phase.
Comments copied to Conclusions Findings controls from earlier Synapse versions will carry over to the new Findings control without a phase and will then be copied to conclusions using the dataset and tag of the new Findings control.
Comments added directly to the Conclusions Findings control in earlier versions of Synapse will be placed in the new Conclusions Findings control without associated datasets, tags, or phases.

When you run One-Click Normal, CRA inserts preconfigured normal values into the appropriate Findings control without datasets, tags, or phases.

When you run a macro, CRA inserts the comments into the appropriate Comment Group using the configured dataset, tag, and phase in the macro definition.

If you have findings or comments that you do not want to put in a Comment Group, add them under the blank heading or subheading (-).
