Notes

This topic introduces you to the different types of notes used in Contenta.

The two object categories for notes are:
  • User notes are associated with the desktop object. The note typically contains a message to a specific user. The note can be read if you have access to the desktop. Only the user to whom the note is sent, and the sysadmin, can read the note.
  • Object notes are associated with objects other than the desktop object. The note typically contains a message about the object to which it is attached. If you have permission to access the object, then you can read the note.
    Object notes are either global or local.
