Digital Codes Premium allows you to add notes to all code sections to leave comments for future reference. These notes can easily be shared with others for collaboration within code titles.
Creating a Note
1. Hover your mouse over the right corner of any code section. You will then see the Section Action Toolbar appear, seen in image below.
- A Note can be one of two things: a highlight which is accessed from the Pencil icon or a bookmark which is accessed from the Ribbon icon (second icon from left in toolbar.
- A highlight applies to a subset of the section text. A bookmark applies to an entire section. Both appear inline beneath the section under the My notes heading once applied.
2. Type a comment, message, or question in the text box.
- Common formatting for note text is available. These tools include strikethrough and underlining (for legislative formatting useful for marking up amendments) and color coding of text. Additionally, importing images or embedding videos into the note body is available.
How to Find Your Notes
To view a previously created note, go to the right navigation menu within the title and follow the below steps:
1. Click the NOTES tab in the middle of the right navigation menu to see a list of all sections in the selected title that contain a note
2. Filter by Project Tags to see a list of notes related to a specific project tag.
3. Click a note in the left pane. The code section of the note you created will then open. Click “> Notes” to view all your notes associated with a section.
Sharing Notes
Every section note has a unique URL. You can email the code section link to share with others. The email recipient must have an ICC account to open the note link in the email message. Learn more on how to share notes here.
- To email a section note link, click the Share icon and type a message (up to 100 characters).
- Add one or more email addresses and then click Submit.
Adding Project Tags
You can filter document notes with tags, a handy tool if a file has a long list of comments.
- To add a custom project tag to a note, click the New Tag button, enter a name, and then click Save
2. Users can add a new tag or choose one from a drop-down menu of existing tags. Apply any color to a tag for easy identification. Use Project Tags to organize notes in any format, such as topics (e.g. Plumbing) or a project address (e.g., 123 Main Street).
Using the Note Toolbar
Each note you create displays in the section of the title. Each section note has a toolbar. There are three main icons that are show in the image below. From right to left these action icons include: share, edit and remove.
To delete a note, click the trash icon and then click Remove in the confirmation pop-up.
