Using The Work Sessions Notes Index Window
The Work Session's Notes Index Window is used to manage a list of all the Note records that belong to
a
specific Work Session record.
The window's primary function is to make it fast and easy to locate a specific Note record, select
it, and
then perform database operations on it.
Displaying The Window
Before you can display the Work Session's Notes Index Window you need to be in a window that's
working with a
Work Session record,
such as the Work Session Window, or the Work Sessions Index Window.
This is because it's
that Work Session record's
Note records that you want displayed by the Work Session's Notes Index Window.
On the left hand side of these windows is the Display Notes hyperlink.
When you click that hyperlink, then you'll see a new Work Session's Notes Index Window displayed and
it'll
be displaying
all of that Work Session record's Note records.
This image shows a Work Sessions Index Window with a Work Session record selected, and the
Display Notes
hyperlink outlined.
When that hyperlink is clicked the selected Work Session record's Note records will be displayed in
a Work
Session's Notes Index Window (image below).
Searching The Window's Records:
At the bottom of the window's list of records is a Search panel that's used to locate sets of Note
records.
All you need to do to find matching records is enter search words into the panel and then click the
Search
hyperlink.
After the Search hyperlink is clicked the window will display all the records that contained the
search words
somewhere in the records fields.
Each record will highlight in light purple, the location where the search words were found.
Navigating Between Displayed Notes
You can navigate between a set of displayed Notes by clicking the Previous Note or Next Note
hyperlink to
move forwards and backwards through the list.
Or, you can enter a number between 1, and the value of the # Notes field at the bottom of the window,
to go
to the note at that position in the notes list.
For example, the image below, shows the second note being displayed.
To see it the number 2 was typed into this Previous/Next Note panel, and then the Enter key was
pressed. The window immediately displayed that note.
Editing The Displayed Note
The Work Session's Notes Index Window is read only, so it won't let you edit the contents of a note.
To edit
the displayed note just click on the Edit Note hyperlink.
Clicking this hyperlink will open the Note record in a Notes Window so you can edit it.
Make sure that you click on the Save Note hyperlink to save your changes because the Notes Window
does not automatically save changes to its records.
Performing Database Operations On A Record
To do something with, or to, the note record currently being displayed you just click on one of the
hyperlinks on the
left hand side of the window.
The name's of these hyperlinks describe what they'll do for you, or to the
note, when they are clicked on.
This window has a large list of hyperlinked database operations that the window can't display all at
once.
However, the list is scrollable, so getting to any of those hyperlinks is easy.
This demonstration shows you how to convert the displayed note into an Web Page
that'll be displayed in your computer's Web Browser.
Click the Display Note In A Web Page hyperlink. It's the last hyperlink in the
list on the left side of the window.
After this hyperlink is clicked, your computer's Web Browser will open and it'll display a web page
with that
note's contents in it.
As much
as is possible, the note's style settings are copied to the web page, but the translation is not
always
perfect.
