Before processing a work item, participants can add notes to the work item. Participants who work with the item later in the process can read the notes and add notes of their own if necessary.
To add notes to a work item:
To display a list of work items, in the left pane, click a view name.
In the right pane, click in the Description column for the work item to which you will add notes.
In the Notes section, click the New Note button.
In the New Note dialog box, type the message for the note.
Click OK. The note is displayed in the work item's list of notes.
Note: Notes are sometimes added automatically to a work item as it advances through its process. These notes, which appear the same as notes added by participants, often indicate the status of certain tasks and activities.
