The Notes section of the database allows you to add free form notes about any record. While each note will be attached to a
Master Record, it can also be attached to other records including
People and
Gifts among others.
All notes on a
Master Record can be viewed, added, edited or deleted on the main NOTES page of their record. These notes sometimes appear on reports in the system, but they can NOT be used as criteria in other reports. So notes are a good place to deposit information that you will not be using as criteria for running reports. For example - you may want to use a note to list which school someone graduated from or information about a stock donation (which stock, what it was valued at, etc.).
An important use of Notes is to use them to
Connect Records, including Family members.
Notes have a number of different fields
