Acuite lets you add comments in a dedicated column for some tables. This feature is great for adding context, like explaining why a cost code has a positive or negative variance, and you can easily retrieve this information even months later.

Add a line item comments

  1. Go to the appropriate dashboard that contains a table with a Comments column

  2. Click the Options menu

  3. Select Edit Comments

  4. In Edit mode, expand the cost code structure and the comments column will open up, letting you add details to each line item. The GREY cells indicate which ones are editable.

  5. Click on the cell against the relevant line item to add the necessary comments. The YELLOW cells indicate which ones you have just edited.

  6. Once editing is complete, click Save

IMPORTANT: Comments added in one reporting period will carry over to the next (e.g., comments from September 2024 will still be visible in October 2024). If the comments are no longer relevant, they can be deleted to prevent them from applying.
