Notes are a powerful feature that allow you to capture and organize important information within records across your system. By using notes, you can track updates, share knowledge, and maintain a historical record of activity on items such as crew member details.
To boost efficiency and consistency, you can also save frequently used note content as templates—and even share those templates with your team.
Notes are always date and time-stamped, and attributed to their author, so you have clear context for every entry. With the optional use of categories, your notes stay organized and easier to find.
