A Notebook is a collection of notes pertaining to a particular subject. Notes can be used in whatever way the user and/or team determines. One example of how notes can be used is to create a Notebook for each of your departments, then provide resources and information pertaining to that department.

To get started, choose Workflow & Productivity > Notebooks - from the Argenta main menu on the left hand side of the screen:

 
 
 

Your Notebooks page will open. Select the “Add New” button for either a Team/Shared or a Personal/Private Notebook:

 

 

 

This opens the Notebook Workspace:

(Personal Notebook Workspace)

 

This workspace has 5 tabs of information. Lets take a look at each tab and field within this workspace:

1. Notebook Details tab:
 
(Personal Notebook Details tab)
 
On this tab you will enter these details:
  1. Record Level Permissions - Set As View Only - Placing a checkmark in this box restricts this record to view-only access unless the user is the user who created the record, the user is a master admin, or the user is given specific permission to modify this record on the Record Permissions tab of this record. Permissions also work by assigning a department, district and/or precinct. If you have users in your system who are restricted by these permissions, they will only be able to see records in the departments/districts/precincts you have granted them access to.
  2. Record level Permissions - Lock This Record - Placing a checkmark in this box locks this record so that users cannot view or update the record unless the user is the user who created the record, the user is a master admin, or the user is given specific permission to access this record on the Record Permissions tab of this record. Permissions also work by assigning a department, district and/or precinct. If you have users in your system who are restricted by these permissions, they will only be able to see records in the departments/districts/precincts you have granted them access to.
