Form Comment and History Filtering
Comment and System Log Filtering for Forms
Filter toggles for comments and system logs makes it easy to choose between viewing user comments, system logs, or both.
Switching Between Comments and System Logs
In the comments area, there are two filter toggles:
Comments (default ON): Displays only user-entered comments, excluding any automated system logs.
System Logs (default OFF): Displays only automated, transaction-type logs generated by the system.
Use these toggles individually or together to control exactly what information appears.
Comments Only Toggled On:
System Logs Only Toggled On:
Both Comments and System Logs Toggled On:
Remembering Your Preferences
The filters you choose are automatically remembered and applied whenever you view other forms, saving you from having to set them repeatedly.
Example Filter Combinations
Toggle Setting | Information Displayed |
|---|---|
Comments ON (default), System Logs OFF | Only user-entered comments |
Comments ON, System Logs ON | User comments plus system transaction logs |
Comments OFF, System Logs ON | Only system transaction logs |
Showing Changes
Next to these toggles is a tick box called "Show Changes":
If both Comments and System Logs toggles are ON, ticking "Show Changes" highlights changes for all displayed items.
If only the Comments toggle is ON, ticking "Show Changes" highlights changes only within user comments.

Viewing Details of Users (Viewers)
Ticking the "Viewers" checkbox displays details of users who viewed the currently visible items. This will match whatever you currently have displayed (comments, system logs, or both).
