Ok, now it’s time to start.
We can record additional information about a task in note. For example, we might have some description of a task but want to keep the task name brief but we can also add such descriptions to a task rather than to task’s name.
There are three types of notes, which are given below.
- Task notes
- Resource notes
- Assignment notes
We can enter and review the task notes on the notes tab in task information ribbon menu.
