v4.1 User Notes

A new feature I have been working on for v4.1 is a new user notes system. The current v4.0 line had user notes but it was not setup in the way I really wanted. So I totally redid it and added a few nice features.

The first step to utilize the notes system is to login to the admin and go to the user details page. At the bottom it will say “User Notes” with a paper clip icon. Click that icon to add a new note. On the screen that loads you can add the note text, flag it as important, and select the type.

The note flag determines where it is displayed in the administration. Important notes are shown at the top of the page so it is the first thing that is seen. This also shows on the listings page and the user page. Notes that are not important are shown at the bottom.

The type option is either public or private. Private means it is only seen from the administration where as public is shown to the user on the user index page. This should allow you to basically show a custom message to certain users.

Here is a video showing how to add user notes:
