Hide Activities/Comments in specific workflow steps

Dears,

We have a requirement to control the visibility of workflow activities and comments in certain workflow steps. Specifically, we need the ability to enable comments in some steps and disable them in others.

I attempted to achieve this by unchecking the "See All Comments" option in the Permissions tab; however, it did not work as expected, and users can still view the comments.

please confirm if this is the default behavior or advise if additional configurations are required to meet this requirement?

Regards,,

  • I doubt if that is the intention. When a WF is running and it goes through several steps people may comment on it to give it some life as to the nature of the work being performed.

    Pat approving this step because Josh approved it.

    RFK not approving this because of no reason given

    Vaccine not approved.

    If you are a signatory to a flow you may want to know or not know like (FBI, CIA type of Workflows) what is the general opinion of people in it. If you do want to hide comments what we all usually do is use a regular Form Step,WR View,Answer Modules, or some other tool that is not OOB OT CS WF code.

    If you uncheck see all comments effectively the WF thinks that the comments for that user on that step is shown.Most of the times you do not uncheck it.
