Layer 4.14

Keep your conversation where you work

Hi there,

With Comments in Layer 4.14.0, you can discuss rooms, equipment, individual fields, and saved views, including Document View.

Sample project conversation on an observation.

Bring the right people into the conversation

Your comments and any replies stay with the item, field, document, or view you’re discussing. Use @ to bring a teammate into the conversation and # to link the project item they need to check.

For example, while reviewing a room data sheet you need to check an equipment requirement. Start a comment on that view, reference the specific piece of equipment, and mention the colleague who can confirm it. They can open the item and reply in the same conversation.

Mention a teammate and reference a project item while reviewing a document. Draft shown in a sample project.

Keep decisions with the work

You can resolve a conversation when it’s finished and find conversations you’re part of in the Comments tab in your notifications menu.

Filter for resolved conversations to revisit the question and its answer. Sample project shown.

Include comments in your reports

Comments replaces the Notes and Tasks tabs, with existing content moved into Comments. The new Element Comments block also lets you include an item’s comments in documents and PDF reports.

Also in Layer 4.14.0
