Valuable additional written information can be communicated and exchanged via a Microsoft Word style-editor within the CXO-Cockpit itself by using the POV (point of view), Bookmark and Subsidiary comments. There are three types of comments:
Point of View (POV) Comments
Subsidiary Comments
Bookmark Comments
The CXO Cockpit will automatically select a default comment type per report. By clicking on the tabs you can switch to another comment type. In order to make the comment reading area bigger (full screen), select "Full Screen" option from within the Comments Tool Bar.
The POV comments are related to the current report and the selected Point of View. These comments can be edited by anybody that has access rights to the CXO Cockpit and this specific Point of View.
Possible actions with comments in Actions menu: (Availability depends on user rights, read more about this in the /wiki/spaces/CXO/pages/2806776921 section)

Subsidiary Comments
The subsidiary comments are those comments that have been entered by the subsidiaries (child values) on the same report for the same point of view. (Any dimension in the POV can be set to have subsidiary comments by selecting the rollup option in the /wiki/spaces/CXO/pages/2806776312 tab (but it is limited to only 1 dimension per report). The dimension that can contain subsidiary comments can be set in the /wiki/spaces/CXO/pages/2806776312 tab, and can be a different dimension in every report.

Some reports use the comments & narratives of another report. To warn you that you are editing a comment belonging to another report the message 'You are editing the narrative of "XXXXX" report' appears. Your Captain can set up this functionality.
Line Item Comments
In Multi-Column reports columns can be added in which comments can be entered for each row item.
