Adding a note is a convenient way to document information related to your simulation. Notes can be created at any time and become part of the project’s documentation.
To add a new note:
- Open the Notes window.
- Select Add Note.
- Enter a title and author, if desired.
- Type the note using the built-in rich-text editor.
- Save the note.
The new note is immediately added to the project’s note collection.
Formatting notes
The editor supports standard rich-text formatting, including:
- Bold
- Italic
- Underline
- Strikeout
- Font selection
- Text color
- Background highlighting
Formatting can be used to organize longer notes or emphasize important information.
What should I record?
Useful notes often include:
- Why particular simulation settings were selected.
- Sources of input data.
- Assumptions used in the analysis.
- Observations made while interpreting the results.
- References to published literature.
- Planned changes for future simulations.
Although notes are optional, they can greatly improve the usefulness and reproducibility of a project.
