An inline note is a custom note field you can add to screens or windows so you can enter and/or view a note directly on a screen or window without having to access the Notes tab or open the Add/Edit Note window.
For example, you can configure an inline note on the Add Event window that allows your users to enter a general description of the event. This allows you to build the note into the Add Event process and saves the step of having to add the note after entering the new event.
To add an inline note field, follow the below steps:
- Select the area (Accounts, Events, Service Orders, etc.) where the note is needed from the Main Menu.
- Click the Edit Layout link on the page you want to configure the inline note field for. The Edit Layout window opens.
- Click the down-directional arrow next to the Add Field button in the Available Fields section.
- Select Add Note Field. The Add Note Custom Field window opens.
- Enter the following information:
- Label – Name for the note. This label displays on the screen.
- Subject – Defaults to the subject of the screen you are on. You cannot change this when adding a field directly to a screen.
- Note Class – Note class to assign to the note when it is added.
- Control Type – Select to use the HTML editor, which allows for text formatting, or Plain Text.
- Expand the Advanced section.
- Select the Access Type for the note.
- Only One User – Only the selected user in the drop-down can view the add note field.
- Everyone – All users assigned to the theme can view the add note field.
- Users and Roles – Only the selected users and/or roles can view the add note field.
- Click OK. You return to the Edit Layout window.
- Use the Search For field to locate the new custom field. The label you entered in step 5 is the name of the field.
- Click-and-drag the field to the right side of the window.
- Place the field in the desired location. There are no limits on where you can place the field.
- Click OK. The add note field displays on the screen.

:( Do you know if there is any plans to add this? It would be a perfect place for this feature.

We're looking for technical guidance on having 5-10 Event Inline Notes and potential impact on event window loading performance.
