The Commenting Report in Polarion ALM provides a unified analytical view of all user comments made within project documents and work items.
It enables project teams to monitor collaboration, feedback trends, and review activities efficiently.
Developed in Velocity (.vm) scripting, the report integrates seamlessly into Polarion’s Live Report environment.
It leverages core APIs such as TrackerService, ProjectService, and CommentManager for real-time data retrieval.
