RC Comment Usage Report Page

Use this report to review how often specific comments have been used for a course. You can select up to 15 comment codes to include. The report lists either the number of times the comment was used or the percentage that the comment usage represents. The report only includes course-sections for which at least one comment was entered for the selected comment type.

By default, the report sorts comment usage by course code so you can see totals for how comments are used for a course. If you change the sort, then comment usage totals are displayed for the first field in the sort. The report includes a total of the comment usage for the building and a comment key for the selected comments.
