Notes object

Notes objects are used to enter and edit free-format text (typically comments and reminders). The Portfolios, Assets, Quotes and Web views each contain a single Notes tile which is visible when the Notes button is depressed in the respective view's toolbar:

In the Porfolios, Assets and Quotes views, the Notes tile contains two pages arranged in a tabbed notebook layout. The first page is for text common to the entire view and is always visible. The second page is only visible when a record is selected in the view's Grid object, and contains text specific to that record:

The operation of Notes objects is straightforward: simply click where you want to enter your text and type away. Use the numeric keypad (arrows, PgUp, PgDn etc.) to move around. Use the Ins key to toggle between insert and overwrite mode.

Don't worry if you can't find a "save" command: there is none. All edits are saved automatically when the text window loses input focus.
