Structured Comments

Each comment has a type so that Uclusion can adjust logic and route notifications.

Any task, blocking, question or suggestion comment can be moved to its own job by using the Move button.

Inside a job

Blocking issues

Opening a blocking issue on a job does the following

  • If not already there, job changes stage to Debatable
  • Removes notifications that no longer apply like the notification to approve
  • Everyone except the creator receives a persistent notification.

A blocking issue can also record a dependency on another job — type # in the issue text to choose the job being waited on and link it. When a job completes, AI agents sweep the workspace for blocking issues that link it and recommend which ones to resolve, so dependent jobs re-enter the flow without anyone having to remember them.

Questions

Similar to blocking issues, but additionally, the ‘Add Option’ button on the created question can be used to gather approvals on possible answers.

Clicking an approvable option allows voting or commenting.

Suggestions

In addition to notifications and Debatable stage change, suggestions can be moved to tasks and support voting for or against the suggestion.

Reports

An assignee creating a new report resolves all previous reports. The previous reports will still show in the resolved section of the job.

Additionally, using a mention in a report sends a notification that remains until the mentioned person replies or opens a comment.

Notes

Notes record decisions and context without interrupting anyone — a note sends no notification unless you @ mention someone in it.

A job’s Notes tab collects the job level notes and the notes on its tasks, grouped by day with the newest day on top; a note added on a task displays under that task’s header. Add one with the Add note button or Ctrl+Alt+n.

The Show AI checkbox on a note controls whether AI agents receive it as part of the job’s context. A note that has a reply is always sent to AI, so its checkbox displays checked and locked.

Replying to your own note adds another note to the thread, and a note can be converted to a task with the Add task button.

Tasks

Opening a task prevents moving the job to Reviewable until the task is resolved. You can also move a task out of the job and into its own bug.

Grouped Tasks

Add a grouped task with the Group button and it displays underneath the task from which it was created.

At the view level

Bugs are basically tasks that are not associated with a job. Similarly in the view Notes / Discussion section questions, suggestions, and notes can be entered.

Unlike a job note, a view level note can be resolved — resolved notes, questions, and suggestions display in the Resolved tab and can be dragged back to Open. When a workspace has more than one view, a view level comment can also be moved to a different view.
