    • When this value is set to Yes, this note appears in the Field Look Up Values and can be assigned from the Notes tab when adding/editing a calendar, clocking or adjustment.

    • When this value is set to No, this note is not available in the Field Look Up Values for the transaction screens and cannot be assigned through that screen.
