Creating and sharing online notes

Quick Notes allows you to create and place unlimited number of notes online. You can use it as your personal notepad, where you right down notes, appointments, and memos. You can also create an online bulletin board for posting memos, announcements, etc. – anything that you would like to share with your friends or colleagues. Every added note can have files attached to it, which will be listed along with a note in Quick Notes main window.

Displaying notes
Your notes are displayed in Quick Notes main window in one of the two views: grid or list. In a grid format you can list note subject and any number of other note properties (date, author, content, attached file). Information will be displayed in a form of a table:

List view is a good option for displaying note content along with other note properties. You can sort your note list by subject, date, content, or author name. In either list or grid view it is possible to display partial note content by setting visible content length to any number of characters. The picture below shows notes in the list view sorted by subject. The note content length is set to 50 characters:

Sharing notes
All notes in Quick Notes application are organized into folders, which can be easily shared with other users. This is done by assigning access rights for users and user groups to a folder. You might have a long list of notes; many of the notes are intended to be viewed by various groups of users and contacts. In this case you can organize your notes into folders and specify which users can access a folder and what level of access they are allowed to have. If John has “Meeting follow up items” folder in his Quick Notes, he can consider the following users access assignment:

According to the user access set up shown on the picture, Ann and Jeff are given Read access to the folder. They can view all notes and items from the last meeting and their attached files. Jack, Kim, and Sue are assigned Write access – they can use their assigned user rights to modify meeting notes and add new ones. John himself has the highest access level – Folder. He can create a new folder of notes, delete an existing one, add/modify/delete notes, and set user permissions. Thus, John has created “Project Memos” folder. This folder can be read and modified by the whole project team. He specifies team’s user group permission in the following way:
