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.

The filters you choose are automatically remembered and applied whenever you view other forms, saving you from having to set them repeatedly.

Showing Changes

Next to these toggles is a tick box called "Show Changes":

  • 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).
