Notes Menu
 
The NL- Notes menu control panel is located at the top of the Notes to the financial statements section. It is used to add new notes from the Resource Centre and to set up additional setting for the notes. These settings can be set as default in the Resource Centre module (NL - Notes menu) by the Jazzit Administrator. For a complete list of all note categories available, refer to Notes Summary and Behaviors. We also provide you with a searchable PDF document of all available notes in the Jazzit financial statements which can be viewed on the Jazzit Support Centre (Support Articles > Notes) website.

Use this option to browse the various note formats available in this category. A separate CaseView document (the Resource Centre module) will open.

The module allows you to view the following information:
 
  • Instructions regarding this note module
  • The various note formats. Make a note of the specific format option you'd like to insert
  • Revision dates of the note within the Resource Centre
 
When you're ready to insert a note, close the Resource Centre module and click on the Insert from this category button. Refer to Inserting a note for further information.
