4.9.2 Adding a Note

Adding a Note to an existing Discussion may involve two aspects:

1. defining the 'Reply' links to existing Notes, if any
   (see section 4.9.3 for details);
2. creating the Note's content.

To add a Note that does not reply to any existing Note,

• click    on the top button bar of the Discussion page,

or

• click [Add Note] on the [Action] bar of the Discussion's entry in the Folder page or Meeting page that contains the Discussion

to bring up the 'New Note to Discussion name' form. In this form

• choose the type of contribution (see section 4.9) most appropriate for the message of the Note object you create -- the corresponding icon will later be displayed left of the name of the Note object;
• write or paste (drop) the text of the article into the 'Message' field. HTML tags following a <P> tag in the text of an article will be interpreted by browsers displaying the article;
• enter the gist of your contribution -- condensed to two or three words -- in the 'Subject' field,
• click

  to add the Note object to the Discussion Forum.

As its author you may modify a Note, even after replies have been submitted:

• Click    on the top button bar of the Note page

or

• click [Modify] on the [Action] bar of the Note's entry in the Discussion page

to bring up the 'Edit note' form that lets you choose another type and edit the Note's name (subject) and message.
