What is the preferred method to refresh the entries in the comments panel such that comments would automatically display if another remote user added entries?

You would normally bind the comment panel’s data property to a SQL query - if you look at the bottom of the property binding SQL Query window, you will see Polling Mode. To see updates other users are making to the SQL data, set the Polling Mode to relative (polls at the project’s default rate) or absolute (polls at the rate you specify in the box to the right).

The client will then issue regular SQL queries whenever the window containing the comments panel is open.
