Depending on your system's configuration, you may be able to set privacy options for notes that you have created. Privacy options are used to determine whether or not other users can view, change, or delete a note that you have created.

Consider the following when setting note privacy options in the Web Client:

  • Users with administrative rights are always able to view, update, and delete all notes and to view and set note privacy options for all notes.

  • Only the creator of a note (and any users with administrative rights) can view and set the privacy options of that note.

  • If a document is locked, the privacy options for all notes on that document cannot be modified by any other users. This includes any users with administrative rights.

  • The privacy options for a note type may be set by default by your system administrator.

In the Web Client, note privacy options are set in the Notes dialog box. To set note privacy options:

  1. Open the Notes dialog box using one of the following methods:
    • Right-click a document in the Document Search Results list and select Notes.

    • Right-click an open document in the Document Viewer and select Notes | View Notes.

    • Click the Note(s) section of the status bar.

    • From an open OLE document (such as a Microsoft Office document or PDF):

      • Select Edit | Notes from the OLE viewer menu.

      • Click Edit on an open note in the Notes pane.

    The Notes dialog box is displayed.
