Notes are used on nodes to capture more information than the node name can convey. To create a note, hover your mouse cursor over the node name and select  Add note; if the note already has a note, then this option will be  Edit note (and the icon will be solid). The note editor will open.

The note editor is WYSIWIG, so you can see your text formatting. It provides the following functions (from left to right on the toolbar):

When a function is selected, the toolbar button is shown in blue. To save your note, click on the  Save note button. To delete the note, click the  Delete note button. Clicking the  Cancel button cancels any changes that have been made since the note editor was opened. When a node has a note on it, it will be given a coloured flash in the top left corner.

Clicking on the flash will take you directly into the note editor.

 Plus features

If you have a Plus account, you will see a colour drop-down beneath the editor. This allows you to put different coloured notes onto different nodes, giving you a different way of ordering information within your RiskTree. The note colour will be shown by the colour of the flash in the top left corner of the node.
