Overview of Notes
The Notes tab in the DMB Organizer allows you to store and
access any plain-text document. This is helpful for storing league
charters or bylaws, newsletters, or virtually any document relating
to your DMB activities.
NOTE: The Notes feature does
not allow you to create
notes. It simply allows you to reference and
view notes that you have created in any word processing application
that allows plain-text formatting. It is
important to remember that documents you wish to access through the
Notes tab must be saved in plain-text (they must have the "txt"
filename extension) and they must be stored in your DMB
folder.
To add a note:
1. Click View on the DMB menu bar and
select Organizer.
2. Select the tab labeled Notes at the bottom of the
screen.
3. Click the button labeled
New at the top of the
tab. The following screen will appear:
4. Enter a category for the note and a
title. These will
appear on the Notes tab.
5. Type in the file
name of the document. Remember: The
document must be in the currently active
database, and you must enter the full filename (ex:
"leaguecharter.txt").
6. Click OK. The note will be added to the
Notes tab.
If you select a note on the Notes tab and
click Copy, the
Note window will appear. You can now change the category, title, or
filename. However, if you enter a new filename, it must refer to a
document in the database folder.
If you select a
note on the Notes tab and click View, DMB will launch the Notepad
application (or whatever application you have configured to read
"txt" files) and allow you to view or edit the document.
