Item notes suggestions

[dspady]

It would make item notes more useful if:
1. When item notes was opened, the data item field got smaller. This would allow taking notes at the same time as reading the data item. As it is, one has to go back and forth between them, and this is a nuisance.

2. Would it be possible to put item notes at the BOTTOM of the data item window, much the way that child items is already. This would allow easier reading of the data item field and taking of notes at the same time.

3. As mentioned previously, it would be REALLY nice if the item notes attribute changed in some way (color, icon, ?) whenever there was information in the item notes window.

Many thanks

In the Title Bar for the Item Notes Pane there is an area to the extreme left (four vertical dots - any Pane Title with these can be re-positioned), if you click-hold-drag on this you can position the Pane to your choosing.

Once you have the pane set where you want it, close the pane, then re-open (Ctrl-5) and it should open to where you placed it. This positioning should be persistent across sessions (and should be true for all panes that are re-positioned by the user).

Note: the closing and re-opening of the pane is only to illustrate that the re-positioned pane will re-open in the chosen position.

When you enter re-positioing mode, placement arrows showup on the screen in the various areas where you can position panes. Play around and it should be evident how these work.

Thanks very much. That is just about what I want. All that is lacking is some indicator showing the presence of text in the note. I really like the item notes at the bottom. Works very well.
