Publishing Note Records

Post by Glenn Webby »

Hi folks,

simple question: when you

Publish > Miscellaneous Reports > Note Records

how do you set up your Notes Record that you want to publish so that the title of the Report (Heading Level 1) is just the title you want and not the entire text of the note truncated ? Probably a daft question but I can't see it in the documentation.

Many thanks for any help

Not at all a daft question - I can't see how to do it!

To amplify, neither Notes nor Research Notes have a "Title" as such. They are just text. Research Notes appear to have a title because both the Records Window and the Research Note Report are set up to look for text of the form "Title: This is the note title". However, this does not seem to work for plain Note records.

This feels like an omission, or have I missed something? If it can be done, I'm sure somebody will be along shortly to correct me....

Yes, it is impossible, so I published Note Records with Options in the Plugin Store > Plugins > Plugins for V7 > Report Plugins.

The Heading my be derived from a Data Reference such as %NOTE.REFN% (the Custom Id) or plain text.
See the Report Plugin description.

Many thanks both,

first for cross checking my sanity and secondly for explaining why and a work around.

Top drawer, thanks.

Tried out your plug-in Mike.

Exactly what I was hoping for. Many thanks that is a very useful addition for me.
