Interact directly in Calxa at Budget preparation time
The Budget Comments feature opens a pane on the right side of the budget screen, this will contain all the comments you add to cells and give you the option to @mention other Calxa Users in your team for discussion and reply or record reactions to comments.
NOTE š¬ Comments relate to the Budget data view that is currently on the screen, select a Business Unit or an Account to view as required.
Select a cell or range of cells in your budget to filter the comments to those relative to your selected range. Select the comment so the background shows as yellow, and then the cells reflected by that comment will also be highlighted to match.
TIP š”To deselect the cells, use the ESC key on your keyboard. The Comments pane will then revert to all comments for the current Budget View
