Administrator Notes

The little feature in the Admin CP to write down whatever you want and save it - do you ever use this?

 

No. Don't really use any of the "Dashboard".

 

I use the Shared Admin Notes.

 

You bet!

I typed "Testing admin notes" in there and every time I look that is still there! :lol:



It would probably be useful if there were multiple admins for keeping track of why certain things were done.

On the other hand I should probably use it for keeping track of changes made to the admin CP settings. I just tested it and it found the word 'Testing" in the notes even though it was not visible (I added random stuff to make the message longer) using control-F in Firefox.

I have a word document for logging changes. The notes do reside in the database which could be handy.

 

Eh, I use it from time to time - not consistently, however.

I will sometimes use it to leave little "funny" notes to my fellow administrators (or, have small conversations with them). It's rather amusing. :lol:

 

When you add something, can all administrators see it?

 

Indeed, when using IP.Board.

 

Oh, I meant for vBulletin. I posted this in the vB sub-forum.

 

Ah, I just noticed that. My bad.

 

I've never really used it. I should probably give it a try and see how it works.

 

I never even noticed it existed until now. My staff are used to using their forum by now anyway.

 

Yeah, I've used the feature in the past. I used to use it to keep track of what I want to include in the next month's newsletter (we used to publish a full-blown monthly newsletter). Other than that though, it doesn't get much use.

 

I sometimes write down what I want to do but cannot do at that very second. So essentially, I use it to not forget ideas I come up with, if at all.

 

The one thing I use most for note-taking is the "notes" aspect of Microsoft Outlook. I have tons of random notes in there. It's what works best for me.
