Insert from Category or Jump to this note

After selecting a Category you will either see an Insert from this category or a Jump to this note button.

Certain categories only allow you to insert one note format at a time. The Jump to this note button indicates that a note from the selected category has already been copied into the statements. Refer to Behavior of Notes Summary. Click on the button to navigate to the note.

If you require a different format of the existing note, delete the note and insert the correct format from the note category.

Browse note category

Use this option to browse the various note formats available in this category. A separate CaseView document (the Resource Centre module) will open. The note module is locked to prevent editing by non-Jazzit Administrators. You will, however, be able to edit the note once you have copied it into your statement.

The module allows you to view the following information:

• Instructions regarding this note module

• The various note formats. Make a note of the specific format option you'd like to insert

• Revision dates of the note within the Resource Centre

When you're ready to insert a note, close the Resource Centre module and click on the Insert from this category button. Refer to Inserting a note for further information.
