Is anyone aware of a quick reference guide for using comments in RQC? Looking for information to use for instructing our users on which comments to use, how they work and where they display. I've been able to find and test most of the comments but I am having trouble finding any information on the header and line comments that are "display only". I see these on RQ10 but not when printing the req from RQC. Also do not see them on POs. Is there any guide as to where these do and do not show? Read more

The new LBI administrator can see some of my reports and all of her reports but there are gaps. Our IT department and Lawson support can't seem to figure this out either but it causes some time consuming inconveniences while trying to support our users. Read more
