The Chart Notes page allows you to view, create, edit, and deactivate chart notes. A user’s access to this page can be limited or restricted under the Chart module privilege in User Manager.
A chart note can be specified for one location or the entire company. Chart notes allow you to define significant events or holidays that will appear when viewing certain charts. An example of utilizing a chart note would be adding Valentine’s Day as a chart note for “All Company” on February 14th. Another example of how a chart note could be utilized is if one of the locations is undergoing an extended renovation.
A chart note could be created for this location to remind others why sales might be off during the renovation date range. Currently, chart notes are supported on two charts: the Periods in a Year chart and the Days in a Week chart.
