Appointment Book day notes

You can create a day note to attach important information directly to any day in Appointment Book. For example, you can create reminders to order supplies, to call a school about a hygiene class, or to attend a dental society meeting. Day notes are associated with a clinic, so each clinic can have a different note on any given day. When you create a day note, it is associated with the clinic that is assigned to the current view, so all views that have a given clinic assigned to them share the same day notes.

Tip: You can include day notes on the Appointment Book View Report.

Note: A user who has been granted access to Appointment Book can view day notes for the clinics that the user has permission to access. However, entering, editing, and deleting day notes requires the "Appointment Day Notes, Modify" security right.
