Figure 3-5. The Notes tab of the Resource Information dialog box.

Figure 3-6. Viewing resource notes.

Resource notes are a valuable way to add detailed information about a resource. A resource's notes are easily viewed and are available for everyone in the project, so as project manager you don't have to repeat yourself.

1. Select the CD replication vendor resource. Click the Resource Notes button on the Standard toolbar.

   The Resource Information dialog box appears with the Notes tab in front, as shown in Figure 3-5.

   Let's add a note that this resource still needs to be secured.

2. Type Need to negotiate a contract for vendor. Click OK.

   The Resource Information dialog box closes. Notice that a little yellow note icon now appears next to the resource. The fastest way to view a resource note is to hold your cursor over it to view its screen tip.

3. Hold your cursor over the note indicator of the CD replication vendor resource.

   A screen tip of the resource note appears, as shown in Figure 3-6. If the note is too long, double-click the indicator to view the entire note.
