  • Publication number: 20220229846
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for data processing are described. According to the techniques described herein, a device (e.g., an application server) may render a first graphical user interface including a first view of a first data record, the first view including a first field. The device may receive, via the first graphical user interface, a user input including a field-level comment for the first field. The first view further includes the field-level comment and a first field-level visual indicator indicating that the field-level comment is associated with the first field. The device may also render a second graphical user interface including a second view of a set of data records including the first data record. In some cases, the second view omits the first field and includes the field-level comment and a second record-level visual indicator indicating that the field-level comment is associated with the first data record.
