So you have written something into the comments field and saved and it still doesn't show up in the log, is that correct?

Hi Rupsingh,

First of all please make sure you have selected the "Activities (filtered)" column from the form layout. Here is how you do it :

Right click on form header >> go to Configure >> Form Layout >> Look for the field "Activities (filtered)" in the "Selected" Slush bucket. If its not there select it from the "Available" slush bucket >> Save. After this return back to the form. You will find the "Activity" field. Right click on the Activity field >> go to Configure Activities >> Select the field (Comments or Additional Comments) in the "Selected" slush bucket >> Save.

Now write a comment in the field and save the form. See it will appear in the activity area.

Thanks,

Arnab
