Multiple Versions

Both general notes and tag notes can have multiple versions. For more information about tag notes, see "Tag Notes" later in this chapter.

When a Note window is opened and a note exists, the last version is displayed in Browse mode. At this point, the user can do any of the following:

• Produce a new version of the note in Edit mode by pressing the NEW key (PF04/PF16). The version number of the new note is one higher than the last existing version number.
• Display the previous or next version of the note in Browse mode by pressing the PREV key (PF10/PF22) or NEXT key (PF11/PF23).
• Change the mode of the currently displayed note to Edit by pressing the UPDATE key (PF06/PF18).

When a note is in Edit mode, the user can edit or modify the note and/or perform the following actions:

• Clear the contents of the Note window by pressing the CLEAR key (PF07/PF19).
• Save a new or changed version of the note by pressing the SAVE key (PF05/PF17).
• Delete the displayed version of the note by pressing the DELETE key (PF08PF20).
• Display the previous or next version of the note in Browse mode by pressing the PREV key (PF10/PF22) or NEXT key (PF11/PF23).

To exit the Note window, press the END key (PF03/PF15).

A confirmation window is displayed when saving or deleting a note, or when scrolling from a new or changed version of a note to the next or previous version.

When a version of a note is deleted, the version numbers of the remaining notes are not changed. The next version of the note (if any) is displayed in Browse mode. If the latest version of a note is deleted, the last previous version (if any) is displayed in Browse mode.

Note: The user exit can be modified to prevent changes and deletions to existing note versions.
