Collaborating on Transect Reports
Within a Transect Report, you can add notes to various report sections, including the Executive Summary and Permit Matrix. 
-
Select Add User Note in the upper right corner of the Executive Summary, Permit Matrix, or other page.
-
Type the note that you’d like included.
-
Click Save when finished.
Full notes are shown at the top of the corresponding page and the comment icon will appear next to sections that contain a note. The Report Owner or Collaborators can add, edit, or delete it. Any user can view, add, or delete their own comment on the thread.
To include Notes when exporting your Transect Report to PDF, select the toggle.
Notes are always viewable in the application but will only be displayed on PDF sections that contain content. For example, if your report doesn't include any Protected Areas and you add a note, neither the "Protected Areas" section nor your note will appear in the PDF export.
