Adding a Note
Notes are text files that are created and stored in folders within a project.
When you create a note, you are creating a stand-alone file (similar to a Word
document) that can be edited or updated directly within your project site,
without requiring an additional application. There are some simple formatting
options (font, point size, etc.) available when you create a note, similar to the
way Microsoft Word works. You can also create a hyperlink in a note.
There are many useful ways to use notes. As an example, you can create a note
about the specifics of a folder or file, or, simply record your thoughts. Then,
as with any other file on your site, you can email the appropriate project
member(s) to let them know that the note has been posted.
NOTE The right-click menu options available to you within a note may vary. For
example, if the note has already been marked as read, the Mark as Read right-click
menu option for that note will not be available.
Each note is stored in the associated project folder. Unlike comments (and
discussion threads), you cannot chain notes together. If you want to create
and chain together messages to exchange information, see
Start a Discussion
Thread
(page 201).
