Understand the Input Detail screen

Title

The title of an input is found at the top of the page.

Input Meta Tags

Information such as Input ID, Topic, Lifecycle and Stage are contained in these tags.

If your input is a child input it's Parent ID will be displayed here. 

Submitted By

Identifies who submitted the input, and when it was submitted.

File Attachments

If a file has been attached to an input, a small paper-clip icon will appear under the detail of the Input. Clicking this icon will open the supporting file.

Net Score

The input's net score is the overall sum of the votes cast in favour of it, minus those against it.

The Inputs Hierarchy

If an input is a parent or child you can view their position relative to other inputs in the Hierarchy section of the input detail screen.  Any parent or child inputs and how they relate to each other are listed here and can be visited by clicking on an individual input.

The Hierarchy section can be collapsed and expanded. If it is collapsed the arrow will point towards the text, you can expand it by clicking on this arrow. If it is expanded the arrow will point downwards and you can collapse the text by clicking on this arrow.

The inputs are displayed in order, with child inputs being displayed below parent inputs, with larger indents the lower their level. Inputs on the same level have the same sized indent. 

Comments

Comments are a useful tool that help to build upon the original input. There are two different types of comments, automatically generated and user generated. Automatically generated comments provide a log of what the input has been through and user generated comments help to clarify the input.

Comments are visible according to the visibility of the input. Learn how to comment on inputs here.

Automatically generated comments appear in grey directly under the comments title, with the date and time of the action and the name of the user that completed it.

User generated comments appear under the automatically generated comments, with the date, time and author of the comment.
