Add "Observation" as a Comment Status

Would like to be able to use "Observation" as a comment status. 

Its very useful when just pointing something out.  For example I include pictures of the distribution panels with and without dead front in my reports.

As it is set up now I have to use "Complement" as the status which I really don't like doing but its the only way I can include pictures of the panels in the report.

I use it quiet often when pointing out something for information only. By using Complement it implies that I approve of what I am pointing out which is not my attention.

Thanks

Tom

  "Add "Observation" as a Comment Status":  

  Agree 100%  Changing "Compliment" to "Observation" is very logical for the use I make of it. It should remain as an item that does not show up in the Summary "table of contents" at the top of the report.

  Compliment
  an expression of praise, commendation, or admiration

  Satisfactory
  giving or affording satisfaction; fulfilling all demands or requirements
  

  

  Compliment should be Satisfactory, and Observation should be for general observation without concern such as:

  • Main water shut off
  • Main electrical shut off
  • room photos (as needed)
  • roof view, ect

  My 2 cents :)
