Adding a Note to a Job

The NOTE command that appears in the list of commands at the bottom of the Active Environment screen is NOT used to add notes. Rather, it is used to display notes that have already been added to a job order.

Notes are added to job orders in the Zoom screen. Remember that before making any changes in the Zoom screen, you must first place the job in Held status.

1. Place job IDJOB6 in Held status and display the Zoom screen for the job by entering Option H, and pressing Enter until the job has a status of Held Wait Schedule. Then enter option Z).
2. Enter command NOTE in the COMMAND field of the Zoom screen. A Note line is opened inside the Zoom screen between two lines of equal signs, as follows:
