Overview of drawer notes

Show expandable text

Use the drawer note feature to enter a note about the current drawer. FileCabinet CS will share note data with UltraTax CS, Fixed Assets CS, and Practice CS. If a TIN is entered in the Drawer Properties dialog (for data sharing purposes), a separate note tab for each application that you have installed appears in the Drawer Notes pane. If no TIN is entered in the Drawer Properties dialog, you will see only the FileCabinet CS tab.

Note: For information on adding notes to individual pages within documents, see Overview of page notes.

To view notes for a drawer, select a drawer from the drawer list. Drawer notes are displayed in the upper right corner of the FileCabinet CS Watch window.

Each tab displays the date and time of the last update to the drawer note and the user ID of the last person who made a change. The tab of the current application appears first.

Click the Add Note button to insert the date, time, and user ID for the new note. To add more notes, it's not necessary to click the Add Note button again. Enter the required text as necessary in the drawer note text area.

Each time a drawer note is modified, a line is added to the history to indicate the user ID, the application where the change occurred, and the date and time the change was made. Each application tab will contain separate note properties.
