Recording procedure notes

In brief

If you want to, you can record notes about a procedure in the notes field on the procedure's settings page - there are no limits to what you can enter.

Details

You may wish to use the procedure notes to record information about the procedure; for example, a brief description of what the procedure does. This can be particularly useful if the protocol is to be shared between different users. It's also useful for your own benefit, if you come back to the procedure several months after writing it - you might not remember much about how the procedure works or what its purpose was!

Formatting

Since the procedure notes field is designed to help out other users of ANY-maze, you might want to format the text in such a way as to make it easier to read. For example, you might want to underline some titles, or make sections of the text bold, or a different colour (or both!).

When the procedure notes field is currently active (i.e. the cursor is in that field) then the Procedure notes format section of the ribbon bar will be enabled. This contains a number of options, which apply to any text that is currently selected in the notes field. (If no text is currently selected, then the formatting you select will apply to new text when you start typing).
