  • Add and reply to comments directly inside your Matidor projects so context never gets lost in emails.
  • Tag teammates with @mentions to keep field and office teams aligned in real time.
  • Use #tags to connect comments to specific map features, files, or costs in Qi and Noa.
  • Get automatic email notifications and in-app updates when someone mentions you or replies.
  • Keep project communication organized with threaded, location-aware conversations on a live map.

You’ll also learn how Smart Comments evolved to make collaboration even more intuitive, secure, and scalable for growing field teams.

What This Webinar Covers

This Matidor Webinar Series session compares the Smart Comments experience in Matidor Qi and Matidor Noa while delivering a thorough walkthrough of how Smart Comments work in practice for field and office team collaboration. The session covers commenting, @mentions, #tagging, email notifications, threaded conversations, and the improvements Noa introduces to make collaboration more intuitive, secure, and scalable for growing field operations teams.

Who This Is For

This webinar is for organizations currently using Matidor Qi who are evaluating or planning a transition to Matidor Noa, project managers and team leads who want to understand how communication features differ between the two versions, and field operations teams managing environmental, field service, or multi-site projects where clear and contextual team communication directly affects project efficiency and data quality.

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

The webinar opens by establishing the context for the Qi to Noa transition and explaining the philosophy behind the redesign. The presenter demonstrates adding and replying to comments in both versions, showing the interface differences side by side so users currently on Qi can immediately understand what changes in Noa and what stays the same. The @mention feature is covered in depth for both versions: how to tag a specific team member or role, how the notification system delivers alerts via in-app notifications and email, and how to configure notification preferences to avoid notification fatigue.

The #tag feature is demonstrated with real examples, showing how it replaces vague references in comments with direct, clickable links to the relevant project element — whether a map feature, file, cost record, or work item. The Noa-specific improvements section highlights changes to the comment panel layout, performance improvements for large comment threads in high-volume projects, and enhanced permission scoping so comments are only visible to the appropriate team members and guests. The webinar also addresses common live questions about how guest users interact with comments, how comment history is preserved when project data is archived, and whether comments can be exported as part of the PDF reporting workflow.

Key Takeaways

Smart Comments in both Matidor Qi and Noa solve the core problem of project communication getting disconnected from the work itself. The Noa version introduces meaningful improvements to scalability, permission control, and navigation for large teams and complex projects. For organizations transitioning from Qi to Noa, this webinar provides the clearest side-by-side comparison available and answers the most common questions about how the collaboration experience changes in the new platform.
