3.3.3 Note

A Note typically is a short message that you create directly on the BSCW server. Notes are a convenient tool to

• inform the Workspace members on a subject,
• start and organize a Discussion about a problem,
• question all members about their views on a topic and to get fast and detailed responses.

A Note can be created only in a Discussion or in an Annotation (see section 4.9). Beyond that, it can exist only in your Bag or your Wastebasket (see section 3.6).

You may display a Note in its own page (see section 4.9.4) or show its message below its entry in a Folder page, Meeting page or Discussion page:

• Click the    icon left of the Note's name

to display the message of the Note below its entry.

You may create a Note as a    to other Notes. This lets you contribute to threads of Notes (for details see section 4.9).
