Example

The example below shows the comment of "Originator Comment" for the Originator and "Approver Comment" for the Approver. Auto Clear at Begin and Auto Clear at End have been selected in order to keep the Comments Text Box clear of any text. The entire comments trail will be shown in the Winshuttle History.

 

Originator Submission:	Approver Submission:
Once the Originator clicks Save and Route, the comments are recorded on the Winshuttle History, and then cleared from the text box.	Once the Approver clicks Approve/Reject, the comments are stored on the Winshuttle History then cleared from the text box.

Tip: Since the Multi-Line and Rich Text Boxes are not supported, expand the Text Box to the ideal size. Then edit the text box properties to make it a multi-line text box and enable Word Wrap. See the example below.
