By default, notes and flags can be added to any section of an IndustraForm. Here you can write a message, and add links or attachments for additional information.

To add a note or flag to a section:

  1. Click Add a Note or Flag at the bottom of the section.

  2. Enter your message.

  3. When required, enter a link's url or attach a file.

  4. Click Add Note or Add Flag.

In some applications (for example, j5 Operator Rounds), the Add a Note or Flag button appears like in the section header bar. The same Add note or flag window appears (as above) when this button is clicked.

Note and flag display

Notes and flags added using the Add a Note or Flag button appear at the bottom of the section.

The links and attachments appear as hyperlinks below their note or flag messages. To view a link or attachment, click its hyperlink. It opens in a new browser tab.

Notes and flags added using the button appear in the section's header bar.

The links and attachments appear as icons next to their note or flag messages. A tooltip appears when you hover your mouse cursor over the attachment icon. To view a link or attachment, click its icon. It opens in a new browser tab.

Some IndustraForm designs have a flag summary. User-entered flags (flags added using the Add a flag button) and system raised flags (flags raised when the entered values exceed the configured control values) appear in the flag summary. Therefore, when the IndustraForm design includes a flag summary, the user-entered flags appear in the flag summary and in the section's header bar/below the section. User-entered notes do not appear in the flag summary.

Additionally, a note and flag count appears in the application's list view.
