Blank Report Notes View
Hello,
How can I view the entirety of a note on the blank report?
The far right column is only showing first line of any notes against tasks.
Thank you

The Notes field in the task table of a graphical report can display a limited number of characters (255) from single line note entries and the first line from multiple line note entries with the same limitation on length. In order to avoid multiple lines if the entry is not any longer than 255 characters, make entries without hitting the <Enter> key.

- ismet_kocamanBrass ContributorJust do the opposite to combine the lines, click at red points and press <Del>. It looks like nothing happens but it actually removes the newline character.

Alternatively, you can use the Text1 field for short notes. Chr(13) inserts the character for CR (carriage return) so that the text after it continues on the next line.
This is kind of like hitting <Alt>+<Enter> in MS Excel's entry bar.

Are you talking to yourself? Quite an array of options. I just hope carysharfoot is taking it all in.

Hi John,
No, I am not. I never found out anything by listening to myself.
Options are for all the users visiting the forum as someone may find them useful.

ismet_kocaman How can I add the Text1 field please?
- ismet_kocamanBrass Contributor
The picture attached shows how to add Text1 to the existing task table in the graphical report. But pls note that transferring task notes to the Text1 field for multi-line display would be feasible if you want to do this just for a few tasks or for the project summary task only. Otherwise, creating formulas and updating the text would be a tedious job to do. I would rather insert a separate text box and fill it with information.
