Notes Tab of Orders, Customer and Suppliers Screens

In this Topic: Show

Overview

The Orders, Customer and Suppliers screens contain several tabs at the lower portion of the screen, one of which is the Notes tab. The contents of the Notes tab on each of these screens is basically the same, except for the labeling of the right-hand pane and the Type of note that is selected, which changes according to which screen is being viewed. Refer to Figure 1. The fields described on this tab are also part of the Desc./Notes tab of the Inventory screen, and the View Notes & Tasks screen.

A list of all the Notes or Tasks that have been created in association with the current order, customer or supplier record is displayed in the left-hand pane. Select a note from the list and view the details of that note in the right-hand pane.

To use the Task system, the Order Manager's Security System must be enabled and user accounts created, so that tasks can be assigned to a particular individual. It is not necessary to have the security system enabled to create Notes, however.

Use the buttons along the top of the tab to manage the note or task: view outgoing emails associated with the current note, print the note, reply to the note, search for a note, as well as Add, Edit, Cancel and complete (Task Completed) a note or task.

The Delete button will not be visible unless system parameter AllowDeleteNotes is set to TRUE. If a note or task has an associated reply, the program will not delete it, even if this parameter is TRUE. Refer to Knowledge Base articles, Notes and Tasks for more information about these functions.

Click the Show link next to "In This Topic" at the top of this page to see a series of links in outline form, which can be used to quickly jump to that section of the topic.

If clicking a field directs the reader to a different Knowledge Base topic, it will open in a new tab or window, leaving the currently viewed topic open. The browser's settings determine whether a new tab or window is opened.
