Symptom
- Users are entering comments in planning templates and are seeking confirmation on whether a report can be created based on those comments.
- The request involves utilizing comments provided by users at both table and cell levels across different planning stories to analyze functionality.
Environment
- Product: SAP Analytics Cloud
- Data Point and Dimension Commenting
Reproducing the Issue
- Enter comments in a planning template at table and/or cell level in planning stories.
- Attempt to create a separate story or report based on those comments.
Cause
By design, comments are a collaboration feature tied to the underlying data context and are not stored as an independent, reportable dataset.
Resolution
- Note that creating a report or story directly from user comments (story/widget/table/cell-level) is currently not supported.
- Use the comment panel or a comment widget within stories to view and manage comments in their context.
- Use Comment Management to get a centralized overview of comments across models and versions, and perform actions such as sorting and deleting where needed.
