Starting at GMS 10.3, notes can be added to most objects or to the project itself to aid in model development. For example, a model developer might add a note to a dataset used to interpolate elevations to describe the real world source of the data. Typical notes might be to describe what an object is, where it came from, or why the developer did something a particular way.

Automatic Notes

GMS will create some notes automatically if the "Create GMS notes automatically" option is turned on in the Preferences | General dialog. Initially, automatic notes are created only on UGrids when they are created, on datasets when they are created through interpolation or the Data Set Calculator, or on coverages when they are created from other objects. This list may be expanded in future releases.

Object Notes

Notes are accessed via a tab on the Properties dialog.
