Arranging comments in multi-level order by functionality

Arrange comments based on specific fields within the comments pane.

Multi-level Order by functionality applies to Styles, Materials, Trims, Requests, and Projects.

The order in which the comments are arranged is also the order of the comments when exported to Excel.

Consider these multi-level order settings:

  • You can select up to three fields from the comments Order By function. Once the maximum number of fields are filled out, the rest of the fields are disabled. Once applied, the setup is remembered and reflected in the next time you open Comments.

  • The order selected is remembered for every user and for each info cluster. For example, the order you selected on the Style Measurements - Sample page is remembered from one style to another unless updated.

  • You can select how the field order is displayed. The first field selected indicates the first priority. The Order by function can cater until 3 priorities according to the sequence of the selected fields.

  • You can sort the details of each selected field in two orders. Set the way in Ascending (Up Arrow) or Descending (Down arrow) order.

  • You can reconstruct the filter by clearing the initially selected fields and then selecting other fields.

  1. Select a record from the applicable PLM for Fashion modules.
  2. From the record's Overview page, click Comments.
  3. Select the relevant field by which you want to order the comments.

    You can choose up to 3 relevant fields within the comments pane.

    Date Created in Ascending order is the default order of the comments.

  4. In Order By, select Ascending or Descending.
    Selecting an order type shows the comments in these outlines:
    • Ascending: Comments are arranged in ascending order based on the selected field. The oldest comments is displayed first.
    • Descending: The most recent comments are displayed at the top.

    Additionally, replies to comments always follow the order of the main comment and does not have a separate order of their own. For example, you can select the Date Created in ascending order, Tags in ascending order, and Sub Type in descending order. Date Created has the highest priority in the ordering of comments, while Sub Type is the last priority.

  5. In Order By, select the comment fields to show from the configured order.
