# Working with Notes

## Note Types

| Type | Icon | Use For |
|------|------|---------|
| **General** | 📝 | Observations, comments, records |
| **Maintenance** | 🔧 | Work performed, repairs, inspections |
| **Abnormal Condition** | ⚠️ | Equipment issues requiring attention |

## Best Practices for Notes

1. **Clear titles**: Use descriptive titles that summarize the note
2. **Include context**: Who, what, when, why
3. **Add photos**: Visual documentation is valuable
4. **Be factual**: Record observations, not assumptions
5. **Timely entry**: Create notes as soon as practical

## Note Examples

**Good Note:**
> **Title**: Replaced seal on P-101 discharge
> **Body**: Noticed minor leak at discharge flange. Isolated pump, replaced gasket (P/N 12345), returned to service. Leak resolved. Total downtime: 2 hours.

**Poor Note:**
> **Title**: Fixed pump
> **Body**: It was leaking.
