CygNet notes enable users to annotate and share information relevant to production system activities and events. A note is typically managed using a GUI that provides a way to record a message, define the point in time or time range to which the message relates, categorize the note by type, and apply custom attributes. Each note can be associated with one or more facilities and points.
The note feature is powered by a parent service, the Note Service (NOTE). A Note Service is accessible by means of CygNet Explorer. This service contains notes created within a single site or from multiple sites on the same domain, and is associated with one or more current value services (CVS).
You can associate as many current value services (i.e., UIS, SVCMON, HSS, and/or OPCIS) as you like with a single Note Service. However, each associated current value service can only be associated with a single Note Service. For instance, Note Service A can contain notes referencing data from both UIS A and UIS B. However, UIS A can only be associated with Note Service A and UIS B can only be associated with Note Service A.
Depending on your use cases and design choices, you might choose to associate your notes with one or more CygNet Studio tools. Such tools can be used as an interface with notes, enabling the display of notes applicable to a particular part of your system. For instance, notes can be deployed with trends so that operators can better record significant system events and communicate with other operators in a shared location.
Currently, notes can be associated with one or more of the following CygNet Studio tools:
The Trend Tool can be used by itself or in conjunction with some combination of other associated tools. For instance, a Trend Tool can be supplemented by a Note Feed Tool. The Note Feed Tool is designed to interoperate with a single associated Trend Tool; it is not a stand-alone control.

Although it is not an associated tool, you can also use the CygNet NOTE View Control. It is a replica of a specific Note Service that can be deployed on a CygNet Studio screen.
