A preconfigured list of comments that is available for use in the current report. A finding control can have multiple levels or groupings of related comments; the number of groupings or levels within each list varies and is configurable.

A text entry field where you can manually enter a new comment.

• Click in the Add new comment text box and enter comment text.

As you enter text, SmartSelect performs a dynamic search of the database for comments with matching text. The search results provide a list of comments that match partial or complete words or phrases that can be selected.

For more information, see Search for Comments and Insert a Comment from the SmartSelect List.

Selected findings are added to the Findings Grid where you can review, edit, complete, or delete them.

In the Findings Grid (excluding the Summary section), each comment is accompanied by a folder icon that features either a check mark or a plus symbol. These icons indicate whether Synapse will copy the comment to the conclusions.

• A folder with a check mark indicates Synapse will copy the comment to the conclusions.
• A folder with a plus indicates the comment will only display in the Findings Grid and not in the conclusions.

The Workspace Summary tab contains a master Findings Grid with all of the findings that were added to the Conclusions section of the factory default report definition.
