A comment cell is a cell in a repeat region that contains user-supplied text rather than data that is read from a model. Using comment cells, you can annotate data in a row of a repeat region. Your additional text remains associated with that row, even if the row’s location within the region changes.

The application tracks a comment cell to a particular model (not a parameter value), so that when the model name changes, the comment is not lost. You can use comment cells in all reports except those for Family Tables and cable harnesses. However, you cannot use comment cells with the following parameter symbols:

Before creating a comment cell, you must list the data in the table so that you can choose a particular object to comment.

You can add comment cells for records that represent flexible components, Family Table generic components, bulk items, and included items along with the standard components within a repeat region.
