Recurring inspections: Notes tab
The Notes tab compiles and displays all notes associated with any part of the recurring inspection interval. For example, all contact notes, submittal notes, and parcel notes will be displayed on this tab. You can add a variety of note types and each note can have any number of attachments. The Display Notes For drop-down box provides an easy way to filter the notes.
