How to add a note to a VM
Hello, I know there are the "Comment" and "Description" columns available in many areas of the Webadmin Gui. But there are some tasks, like "shutdown VM" or "Management -> Maintenance" for a host, where I can specify a "reason" for doing that task and then a note icon appears, aside the object, with the mouse over showing the note text, like in this image: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1v3Yd2t7AtuRFMT6HPFYYZqYUmJLMHYMY/view?usp=s... Is there a way to do it in general? So for example I have a VM and I want to put a note (for some colleague, or to remind me to do an action tomorrow, ecc...) And btw: how can I manually remove the note? Eg I shutdown a VM and fill in the "Reason" field and then in a second moment I want to remove it.... Thanks in advance, Gianluca

The "comment" field was designed exactly for this purpose. Maybe this is not documented? Nir

Probably yes, but it results less visible than having a tooltip with the icon of a note... And also, sometimes the "Comment" column is not one of the first, so you have to arrange / order it so that it comes to the left...

The web console can show a note icon if an entity has a comment. Please file engine RFE explaining the use case. Nir
