Note

The note record is defined in the generalComm (communication) XSD.

Supported Operations

The following operations can be used to modify the note record.

Note:

You can also use the asynchronous equivalents of SOAP web services list operations. For information about asynchronous operations, see SOAP Web Services Asynchronous Operations. For more information about request processing, see Synchronous Versus Asynchronous Request Processing.

Field Definitions

The SOAP Schema Browser includes definitions for all body fields, sublist fields, search filters, and search joins available to this record. For details, see the SOAP Schema Browser’s note reference page.

Note:

For information on using the SOAP Schema Browser, see SOAP Schema Browser.

Usage Notes

A note must be associated with one and only one of these records. If values for more than one of these fields is submitted, an error is thrown.
