In Chapter 2 of this guide, you saw that you could affix notes to specific report strings in the Report Viewing screen. The Notepad facility also allows you to define a general note that applies to the entire report. General notes are defined and accessed through the N (Note) option in the Active User Report List screen.
The same commands are used in both the General Note window and the Tag Note window, as discussed in Chapter 2 of this guide
In this exercise you will define a general note for the EMPLOYEES-MANAGEMENT report.

The Exit Option window and General Note window are closed. The note is saved.
Like tag notes, general notes can be read, modified or deleted.
Any number of general notes can be defined in each report. The N (Note) field in the Active User Report list indicates if, and what kind of, notes are defined for a report.
