Contents

Field Description
ID, Desc.

These fields are common to all tabs. See Common Fields for a description of these fields.

The ABC spell check button allows you to check the spelling in the note.

Category

The Category field controls the category of the note. If you are creating a new note, you can select a category from the list of categories set up in the database.

Although you can attach multiple notes to an activity, you can attach only one note per category.

The text box can contain up to 29 KB of text about the selected activity. You can enter the text by typing directly in this field, or by using the Cut, Copy, and Paste commands to insert text entered in another Windows application such as a word processor or spreadsheet.

An asterisk (*) next to a category name means that the category has a note.

When the note is attached to an activity, a triangle symbol is added to the activity in spreadsheet, barchart, and network views of the project.

You can enter links to files, web pages and email addresses by entering the information in one of the following formats:

  • File links must be entered in the format of: file://c:\document.doc
  • If the file link you enter contains spaces, you must enclose the link with angle brackets ( < > ) in order for the link to work properly:
 <file://C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\test.txt>
  • Universal Resource Locators (URLs) must be entered in the format of: http://www.deltek.com
  • Email addresses must be entered in the format of: mailto:contactus@deltek.com

A note attached to an activity may also be viewed on the Notes tab of the Activity Progress dialog box.
