Notes Groups are used to separate and group together sets of User accounts (e.g. create a Note Group for each law firm). Note Groups are used to set viewing permissions on notes/annotations; and customize reports in the Notes tab.

Once a Note Group is created, it will be available in the Notes dialogue box as an option to customize viewing permission of the note. Once applied, only Users in the specified Note Group(s) will be able to view the note.

Step-by-step guide

Notes Groups are created in the Admin Tab > Groups page.

  1. Click on New Note Group. In the dialogue box, type the name of the new group. 
  2. To add members to the Group, click on the name of the group within the box.
