1.16 Notes

Director allows users to capture notes throughout the progress of a project. The use of notes allows you to use Director as the definitive repository for all information associated with the project. Any information that needs to be made available to all users working on a project can be added as a note.

You may store the following information in each Note:

• A title

• A free-text note

• Optional file attachments

The user and date/time of note creation are automatically captured, as are the user and date/time of the last modification made to the note.

The following are examples of the use of notes:

• Giving brief contact details of the main project sponsor

• Attaching a project plan

• Attaching a project definition document

• Attaching a spreadsheet dividing up assigned work amongst several users

• Attaching an email thread with the initial discussion of the project

Note:

The maximum size for each attachment is 2MB.

Attachments are imported into the database. If you want to store attachments in a common network directory in order to ensure that the latest version is always used, you might simply add a Project Note to inform users where to access all the documents related to the project.
