Hi Team, May I request a Tab / section / page to allow for note taking and information storage, that doesn’t have any bearing on the finances. Just a note taking, research findings etc section we can store things we learn every day and search later. Since a lot of our work is R&D it would be really handy to incorperate learnings in the same system, and as others from 2015 have asked for a note taking system. May I suggest A format where by you can add a project name (Lets call it Process R&D) Then we can add subheading Like Machine settings, lubrication, etc etc and take notes within those subsections. It would simply be like the “Add line” function on the payment / reciept screen where we could type away stuff, and search for the information later if we had to pull it up. (Maybe under description field. I am trying a bodgey work around for it at the moment but at the moment Manager is doing so many things for us it would be great to add this feature. ---

Your idea makes a lot of sense. A dedicated Notes section for R&D or general reference would help teams store learnings without affecting financial data. Structuring it by project and subheadings, with a searchable “Add line” style input, seems practical and user-friendly. Let’s see what happens…. ---

I suggested this some while back, but it was never considered. I hope you have better luck ---

Thank you @Rugerjim, many of us have requested for this but wasn’t seen as necessary. What I did was to create a custom fields called NOTES with text-field and then place it on folder from where I can access it. Open folder Create new Write notes and save ---

I’m using microsoft onenote at the moment which appears to work well for the task. But I still think it would be neat in manager. 🙂 ---

> [@Rugerjim](#): > > Just a note taking, research findings etc section we can store things we learn every day and search later I think the use case you are suggesting is not necessary for an accounting system. If Manager was/had a CRM component then notes would make sense. > [@Rugerjim](#): > > Since a lot of our work is R&D it would be really handy to incorperate learnings in the same system, and as others from 2015 have asked for a note taking system Use case that will make sense maybe will to add notes on each amount that you spend on R&D for example. In your R&D Account - you spend 1 000 - researching. You can then make not on it with your findings. Even with this use it pushing it. ---

In addition to what @Panashe_Mlambo just noted, you can already use a `Custom Field` to capture these notes: - On transactions, if this was transactional – but I doubt this would be helpful much like what @Panashe_Mlambo said - On **Customer** , **Supplier** or **Employee** accounts - On **Projects** or **Assets** – which I believe is more suitable for R&D activities.
