5.12 Editing and Displaying Connection Notes

Connection notes allow the user to document the purpose of each connection by attaching notes to each connection in the NetEdit window. Notes can be displayed or hidden.

To create or edit connection notes, choose menu item Notes from a connection's pop-up menu. Enter new notes or edit existing notes in the note editor dialog. The note editor dialog can also be activated by clicking Button1 on notes displayed in the NetEdit window.

Notes may be hidden, displayed in tooltips, or displayed in the NetEdit window. The note editor provides the following note display options: Default, Tooltip and Top. Choose a display mode by clicking Button1 on the appropriate button.

Choose ToolTip to display notes as tooltips--notes are displayed only when the mouse pointer hovers over a connection.

Choose Default or Top to display notes on top of the connection.

Choose None to hide connection notes. Displayed notes can also be hidden by clicking Button2 when the pointer is over the notes. Hiding notes does not delete notes.

Click button Text Color to change the color of notes displayed in the NetEdit frame.

Click button Cancel to abort note editing.

Click button Clear to erase notes.

Click button Done to accept edited notes.
