Adding Notes
Notes help to facilitate communication between team members. Notes can be used for change tracking, resolution history, and a variety of other functions. You can set notes to be included in any future notifications generated for an object, and to be displayed for all calendar instances of an object. Both of these features are valuable for sharing escalation procedures, recovery steps, emergency contact information, etc., with other team members.
The notes interface can be reached through a variety of context menus in the SQL Sentry client just about anywhere that you can act on an event object or event instance. Access the notes interface by pressing CTRL + ALT + N when an applicable object is selected.
