v7 Notes function


James Pam
 

I am just beginning to explore the added range of functions in the notes page. It certainly provides a wide range of possibilities.
I am using it to attach jpg images in situations where I don't want to attach an image to a fact. So for example a jpg of an email or a page from a book that provides general infomation about the person.
I provide a title in a new note and clicking 'add link'/add more links/add media record - I can insert a link to an image.
Is this the approach that others are taking?

One point to consider is where are you going to put the Note page so that it is associated with the Individual?

 

In my experience, an Email or a book page will often involve more than one person &/or more than one fact.

So in most cases, it would need a Source Citation and the Media would be attached there.

Anyway, for an Email, I would usually enter it as a text transcript with Email addresses as URL links using mailto:
