Notes dialog box

The Notes dialog box displays the notes or comments added to the report, and allows you to add your own notes. Use this area to communicate with other users about the report. The notes can include details about the report, information on how it was created, reasons to use it, queries about the data displayed, a back-and-forth conversation about designing the report, or anything useful to you and other users. The report cache is not invalidated when notes are added or modified.

This topic discusses notes in reports. For information about notes in documents, see Document Editor: Notes pane.

The Notes dialog box contains:

• A display of all the notes that have been added to the report. You must have the View Notes privilege to see any notes that have been added to the report.

• A text field to type new notes. Click Submit to add the new note. You must have the Add Notes privilege to add new notes, but you do not need write access control on the report.

  The Submit button becomes available once you type text.

You can type up to 1024 characters in each separate note, to a maximum of 65,535 characters for all the notes in the report.
