📝 Define Report Notes (overview)
This option allows the operator to define a series of standard notes that may be called as required when the report is generated.
You define basic note structures (templates of Notes to be used per report) using this function, or you can just type them in freehand when you enter them from the Supply&Install dialog box.
These notes entered free-hand are not saved. The notes created here may be re-called as required.

📌 Notes storage and limits
All modern-day reports are intended to use the ###QQNote structure, which allows for up to 1997 characters of notes for each report.
They are stored in an array of 500 in size, which means you could have notes for 500 reports.
Any reports after that would not be able to use Notes.
Should be plenty!
