Using Notes

The notes for a specific object are found in the Notes tab in the sidebar of each object. If an object can’t have notes, then the Notes tab will not be visible.

Filtering notes

You can use the filters in the filter bar to narrow down the result and find specific notes you are looking for.

The available filters are:

  • Type to filter - text search for note content.

  • Label - search by note category.

  • Creation time - search by date the note was created.

  • Completion - if the note is completed or not, or any note.

 

Note completion

When creating a new note, it is possible to mark the note as being completable or not by clicking the complete-note-icon.jpg icon. This allows you to track what feedback has been addressed and what is still to be done.

If the note can be completed, anyone can mark it as completed at any time. When a note is completed, the time and name of the user completing it will be visible.

Completing a note will generate both feed activity and notification emails.

Tasks Spreadsheet, Versions Page, the Inbox, My Tasks, and the Notes tab in the Sidebar can all be filtered based on Note completion.

Tip: You can set whether a default note can be marked as Completable in System settings >  Workflow > Settings.
