Use the Notes History region to view the contextual notes that you have access to, and to update note attributes where you have appropriate access privileges.

Through the Notes History region, you can also access the entire note text by clicking the appropriate icon.

Accessing the Notes History Region

Like the Add Note region, you can access the Notes History region through the integrated applications, such as the Oracle Applications Framework based Task Manager and Oracle Service Online.

To locate the Notes History region, click the Notes History (+) icon to unhide the Notes History region.

Viewing All Contextual Notes

You will see all public notes listed for a specified source object in tabular format with the following fields:

• Details: Each note in the Notes History table can be viewed in Hide or Show mode. Click the Show link to see the expanded row region with the following fields:

  • Note Text field: This displays the first 2000 characters of the selected note text.

  • Full Note icon: Click this icon to access the Note Details region and view the full note text. See: Viewing and Updating Note Details Page.

• Note: Displays the first 40 characters of the selected note in the note summary row followed by three dots (...) if the note has more than 40 characters. The first 2000 characters are shown in the Note Text field.

• Date Added: Displays the date the note was attached to a source object.

• User: Displays the creator of the note.

• Note Type: Displays the note type information for the selected note.

• Visibility: Displays the note accessibility information.

Initially all notes are sorted in descending order based on the Date Added. You can also re-sort the notes by User, Note Type, and Visibility.

Updating Note Attributes

In addition to viewing the actual note, you can also update the note type and visibility fields using the drop-down lists if you have appropriate access privileges. Otherwise, these fields are displayed in read-only format.
