Viewing Notes

Participants can add notes to a work item to maintain additional information about it for later reference.

You can determine if a work item shown in the Work Item Detail panel has notes by looking at the number between parenthesis displayed in the Notes tab. This shows the number of notes that have been added to the work item. If the number is 0 (zero), then the work item has no notes.

You can also determine if a work item has notes directly in the Work Items panel, so long as the Has notes column is visible. When the work item has notes, the Note icon () appears in that column.

To view notes that have been added to a work item:

In the Work Item Detail panel, Select the Notes tab. A table is displayed with the notes that have been added to the work item.
If the note is short, the entire note is displayed in the Note column. If the note does not fit in the Note column, click on it to display the whole note.
