Comment improvements

My company is looking to work with comments in reports, which is pretty great. I now receive quite some ideas for improvements, so I thought I'd put them here: - edit comments after placing them - format text in comments (enumerate, headers, bold/italics/underline) - create an overview of all comments (perhaps with possibility to download/analyse?) - improved comment management for admins: - delete all comments in one go - move old but important comments to an archive - some form of (row-level) security on comments (saw another idea about private comments, only share with those who are tagged. Seemed to be a good solution too!)

5 Comments

  • Being able to see all comments for a report or app in a single place with the full context of where the comment was made would be so useful and reduce chances of missing comments/feedback

  • Drive cell-level collaboration with other stakeholders through interactive commenting. Capture cell-level comments with details such as author & posted time, use @ symbol to tag other stakeholders; assign tasks & track status, receive notifications when someone tags you, assigns a task or responds to your comment and many more.


    Editing comments after placing them, formatting text in comments (enumerate, headers, bold/italics/underline), creating an overview of all comments using comments digest, deleting all comments in one go are all possible using Inforiver.

  • Current limit of maximum 100 comments / conversations is restricting usability of PowerBI when you have a central role, starting conversations with many (groups of) people.


    In case expanding this limit can not be done, additionally/alternatively:

    • can an automatic cleanup/archive feature be added, and
    • add search function so it is easier to find previous threads of communication and continue
  • Giving Developers the ability to clean up the comment section would be a huge win in sharing customized reports and bookmarks with coworkers.
