Adding Notes
In this example, the use of the General Notes on a Customer Account will be used.
- Go to "Sales Ledger" -> "Customer File Maintenance" -> "Add or Edit Customers" and edit any Customer as an example.
- At the bottom left of the displayed window there is a "Check Box". 'Click' here with the mouse button, or press <Ctrl+F8>.
- Any extra information relating to that Customer can be entered in the space provided, with the option to stamp a Date and Time if required using the <F5> key.
- This text is also searchable.
- A "Tick" now appears in the check box to indicate that General Notes information has been entered.
Templates
You can use a ':' to indicate that you want to use a template. The cursor will be positioned after the prompt for that line.
 | 'Zone :' on a line would place the cursor after the ':' ready for you to enter a zone for that customer. |
