Comments
Overview
Comments are used to embed user readable annotations in the steps of a task, usually with the purpose of making the task easier to understand. Comments can be used to summarize the task, explain the intent of a specific step, document instructions, enter notes, reminders or other important information. Comments are ignored by Automate Desktop during runtime. For debugging convenience, the Comments Debug Panel displays each comment embedded in a task and their associated step number.
To add a comment
-
On the ribbon's Home tab, select Comment or press CTRL+ALT+C. A new Comment step is added in the Task Builder's Steps panel at the end of your task.
-
Enter your comment in the Enter a comment box. The new comment is colored green by default, however, you can change the default color by way of Color Options.
-
Use the Up or Down arrows to move the comment to the desired step or use your mouse to drag and drop the comment to the desired step.
NOTE: You can also add comments from the Debug panel by selecting the Comments tab, right-clicking inside the panel, and then selecting Add.
