Introduction
The note application allows for the creation of notifications that will appear when using a business partner, during a shipment entry, when opening a program or when a particular bill of lading number appears. Depending on the priority ( notes ), or significance of these messages, they will automatically disappear after a few seconds or must be closed(sticky message). The purpose of notes is to keep the user aware of issues relevant to the users activity.
Description
Clicking the icon 
will display notes and allow new notes to be created. When using the data to which a note has been applied, for example a shipment address or the creation of a document, then the appropriate note will be displayed as a popup. Notes with the priority "low" or "medium" appear only briefly and disappear automatically, these are termed "Growl" messages. The during the appearance of the note, the user is informed if the note is of low or medium priority, but there is no other behavioral difference between these levels of priority. Notes with "High" priority will be displayed on screen until the user closes them. These are termed "sticky messages".
If a note already exists then the icon changes slightly to 
.
