Awards Comments & History

Awards Comments & History

The Comments & History section displays entries for events in the award request process. You can also add a comment at any time. The entries display in reverse chronological order, so the most recent one is first.

The following image shows an example of this page for a fully processed award.

Note: Not all actions have comments, such as system-generated history events. For those entries, a dash (-) will appear in the Comment column.

Add and Delete Comments

You can manually add a comment by selecting the Add Comment button above the table, as shown in the following image.

A dialog window will display. When you start entering your comment, the Add Comment button in the lower right corner of the window will be enabled. Ensure you add explanatory comments to your requests for anything that might not be clear to OSP or GCA. Select Add Comment to save your comment.

You can only delete your own manually added comments. To remove the comment, select the trash can icon to the right of the comment in the table.

You can also add a comment from anywhere within the Award Setup Request by selecting the “more actions” (3 vertical dots) icon at the far left of the header, and choosing Add Comment.
