# Introduction

> Collaborate in context with object drawers, comments, activity logs, and tasks.

To enable seamless cross-functional collaboration within SIMCEL, these features support Integrated Business Planning (IBP) workflows by giving you the tools to communicate, comment in context, and align through plan-specific process flows. These collaborative capabilities ensure transparency, accountability, and efficient decision-making across all planning stages.

## Object detail view drawers

**Object detail view drawers** let you open and explore the details of **Plans, Scenarios, and Events** without leaving your current view. Each drawer provides:

* A **structured view of the key attributes** of the object.
* A **comments section** where you can exchange feedback in context.
* An **activity log** to track changes and updates over time.

You can move between linked objects and return to the previous drawer with the back option, making navigation smooth and intuitive.

## Contextual comments

**Contextual comments** make it easy to discuss directly within the planning objects themselves. Instead of relying on external channels, conversations are captured where the work happens.

* Supports **threaded comments**, grouped by day with the most recent on top.
* Use `@mentions` to notify colleagues and bring them into the discussion.

This keeps all feedback and alignment transparent, traceable, and accessible to everyone involved.

## Activity log

The **activity log** provides a clear history of what has happened on each object. It automatically records actions such as creating an object or editing an event.

* Each entry is **timestamped** and linked to the user who performed the action.
* Activities are **grouped by date**, with the latest shown first.
* The log is accessible in its own tab within the drawer.

By keeping a complete record of updates and decisions, the activity log ensures accountability and helps teams stay aligned on progress.

## Task management

Task management brings your planning coordination directly into SIMCEL. Instead of tracking work in external tools, you can create, assign, and progress tasks, all within the context of your plans, scenarios, and events.

Each task supports assignees, due dates, tags, comments, and file attachments. You can view tasks on a **Kanban board** (drag and drop across **To Do**, **In Progress**, **Completed**, and **Rejected**) or in a flat **List** view for a quick status overview.

Use the **My tasks** toggle to filter down to work assigned to you, or link tasks directly to SIMCEL objects to keep everything in context.
