Comments (aka Master Comments) is a user-defined list of commonly used notes and/or comments designed to assist with data entry.
Comment Groups (list names) contain a list of associated Items and Comments. Once a Comment Group is created, Item Comments under it can be added to Note/Comment fields using the Master Comments button (located below a note/comment field). For example, the Comment Group Riparian might contain Comment Items and associated Comments for each stream class.
The Comments tab is located under the Data Entry Tools menu item.
