Notes are text documents related to the project. Notes help you to keep the important information about the project such as:
- Links to all related materials.
- Attach files and pictures.
- List of important contacts related to project.
- Report from the meeting.
- Wiki and know-how related to project.
- Descriptions of process and manuals.
Do not share passwords in notes. Password manager apps are way better for this.
How to create note
Go to project detail and select section Notes. Add new note via green plus button.
You should name the note, write everything you need and you can also attach files and pictures to the note directly. It helps you keep client’s contact details, project assignments or ideas at one place.
Note editing
Any user who has the access to the note can also edit it. There is preview and editing mode. Go to note detail and choose Edit note in right column.
Each note also has a Version history below Edit note. Anytime the note is edited by anybody Freelo adds the new version. You cannot lose any written information and there is option to renew them.
