Purpose

To allow the creation and maintenance of Notes relating to Unit Offering Options

Unit Offering Option

The Unit Offering Option block (context block) displays the current Offering Option (context record) from the Maintain Unit Offering Options form. The displayed records in the Unit Offering Option Note block are the notes for the context record

For example, when a Unit Offering Option is displayed in the Maintain Unit Offering Options form and the Unit Offering Option Notesbutton selected, then this form will display that same Offering Option as the context record and any existing notes relating to this record will be displayed.

Full instructions and explanations for the use of the Notes Facility are covered under Notes Facility in the General System Functions and Facilities section.
