Sticky Notes

Areas with a list of notes will typically show only the last three notes and any sticky notes. Older notes are displayed by clicking 'View Previous Notes'.

When adding a note, check the Sticky Note check box to have it display in a notes list without being hidden when newer notes are created.

Sticky notes will appear with a (notepad) symbol at the top of the note. Task Notes added from the Client Card or Location card are treated as Sticky Notes.

AroFlo can be configured to import a copy of emails sent or received via AroFlo to task notes.

Emails in task notes will display the email sender, recipients, the subject, and any attachments.
