# Notes

> Record a visit by voice or by typing, let CamoAg draft the summary, and file it against the right operation.

<Card title="Notes on IOS" type="note">
  Creating Notes is currently an iOS-only feature.
</Card>

Notes are how a visit gets written down before it's forgotten. Record what
happened on the drive out of the lane, and CamoAg transcribes it, drafts a title
and summary, and suggests the operation and tags it belongs to.

<Note>
  Creating and editing notes requires the notes permission on your CamoAg
  account. Without it you can still read notes your teammates have written.
</Note>

## Starting a note

There are two ways in, and they differ only in whether the operation is filled
in for you.

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="From the map" icon="map">
    Tap the **notes** button floating on the right side of the map, just above
    the bottom sheet. Or open **Notes** from the three buttons on the main
    control sheet and tap **Create**.
  </Card>

  <Card title="From an Operation" icon="building-wheat">
    Open an operation and use the **Notes** section on its detail sheet. The
    note is filed against that operation automatically.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Recording and writing

<Steps>
  <Step title="Tap the microphone to start recording">
    A live waveform and a running timer appear while CamoAg listens, and the
    transcript fills in as you talk. Tap **pause** to stop; tap the microphone
    again to pick back up.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Or type instead">
    The transcript field is a plain text box — tap into it and write the note
    yourself if you'd rather not talk.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Generate the summary">
    When you're done talking, CamoAg processes the transcript and comes back
    with a suggested **title**, a **Note Summary**, a **suggested operation**,
    and **suggested tags**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review and save">
    Edit the title or summary — the summary supports rich text — then save.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  The title and summary are yours to change. CamoAg only fills in the title when
  you haven't already written one.
</Tip>

## Attaching an operation

Every note belongs to an operation. A note isn't complete until it has one,
along with a title and a summary — CamoAg will prompt you before letting you
close an unfinished note.

* **Suggested Operation** — after the summary is generated, CamoAg proposes the
  operation it matched from the names you mentioned. Tap **Accept** to attach
  it.
* **Search instead** — if the suggestion is wrong or missing, search for the
  operation by name and pick it.
* **Unsaved Operation** — if the matched operation is a CamoAg operation that
  isn't in your organization yet, tap **Save** to copy it in first. You need
  permission to create operations for this.

## Suggested tags

When CamoAg recognizes tags that fit the note, it lists them as suggestions.
Accepted tags are applied to the operation when you save the note; dismiss any
that don't apply. This requires permission to assign tags. See
[Manage Tags](/account-settings/manage-tags) for how tags are set up.

## Viewing, editing, and deleting

Saved notes open in read-only view. Use the **⋯** menu to **Edit** or **Delete**.

* You can edit and delete **your own** notes only. Notes written by teammates
  open read-only.
* Deleting asks for confirmation and cannot be undone.
* Closing a note with unsaved edits prompts you to discard or go back.

## Finding notes later

The **Notes** list shows every note you have access to, with a count at the top
and a filter button for narrowing the list. An operation's own **Notes** section
shows the notes filed against it, so the record travels with the operation.
