WebTerm displays all comments and requests that are stored in the database in the Comments list (see here). If comments and requests are only sent as e-mails, you cannot use the Comments list.
1 Click the Comments list button on the toolbar.
WebTerm displays the Comments list on the Search & Find panel:
On the Languages menu you can specify which requests and comments are listed (see here).
If you are an administrator, WebTerm shows you private requests and comments as well, and you can also delete them (see here).
2 To view the details of the data record to which a comment relates, click the comment title on the Comments list.
WebTerm then shows the details of the data record and the comment relating to it on the Details panel.
Please refer to the section "Information in the comment details" for more detailed information on the structure of the comment details.
On the Comments list WebTerm details the following information:
First line - 3-letter language code and term proposed or commented on
WebTerm identifies the languages by their 3-letter language codes (see Section "3-letter language code").
If WebTerm indicates All instead of a 3-letter language code, the comment relates to all languages of an existing data record.
Second line - dictionary to which the comment or request relates
Third line - language and entry term selected by the author (does not appear in the case of new terminology requests)
Last line - comment or additional remarks, e.g. reason for the request
WebTerm shows requests in red.
Request for an additional entry in an existing data record
Comments on an existing data record
On the Languages menu you can specify which requests and comments are shown in the Comments list:
All comments - all comments and requests regardless of source or target language
For source language - only comments relating to the current source language
For target language - only comments relating to the current target language
For source & target - only comments relating to the current source or target language
Terminology requests - only requests for new terminology, i.e. no request or comments relating to existing data records
