Adding Notes and Events

There are several scenarios when you may need to tag your defect data with a note and/or an event:

In this case, you can click the Note button to display the Note and Event screen.

If GainSeeker has been configured with a pre-defined list of events or special causes, you can click the Event list and select the most appropriate item.

You can also click in the Note box and type a short description of what caused the defects or corrective action taken.

After you save this note, anyone who edits views the note will be able to click the hyperlink at the bottom of the note, similar to the following example:

Both keywords (http: and file:) work the same way, although it is most typical to use http: when linking to a web address and file: when linking to a file on your network.

Also:

Most typical:

but this also works:

If you need to delete the text of the Note and start over, click Clear.

To exit the Note and Event screen without saving changes, click Cancel.

To accept the Event and Note you have entered, click OK.

In most cases, you can then proceed to Reviewing the data.
