What can I see in the report?
Resolved talks are stored only starting from the version 3.5.0. The report does not include talks that were resolved prior to updating to v.3.5.0.
Talk Report includes the following information:
- Name of a page where an inline comment/suggestion was created
- Link to an inline comment/suggestion
- Initial comment/suggestion
- Priority of an inline comment/suggestion
- Status (open, resolved, archived)
- Discussion/suggestion author
- Users mentioned in a discussion
- Date when a talk was started
- Date of talk resolution
The report is compatible with Table Filter and Charts app. You can use it to add filters to your reports, and create pivot tables and charts to summarize and visualize the report data.
With the combination of these apps, you can filter comments by a certain user, the priority of a comment (low, medium, or high), and its status(open, archived, or resolved). These filters can help you to see which comments need to be promptly addressed.
