List Description
The note list displays all the necessary information to find the specific note you are looking for. The notes are displayed in rows, starting with the chosen note Icon, followed by the note name. Further on we can see the author of the note and when was the last time it was modified. Finally we are left with two icons which determine if the said note has notifications turned on and if location was assigned.
Note Filter
You can use various Filters to help you in the search of specific Notes:
- By type
Check every note type you wish to see. (If left unchecked, all the note types will be displayed)
You can choose multiple users to filter by
Check the Only my notes box to quickly filter through the notes created by you

Currently there are three range filters available:
Creation, Modification and Stage.
First two being self explanatory, the Stage Range
lets you filter through notes of multiple Stages by
the dates specified in the Stage Scan Date.
