Notes

Notes provide lightweight Markdown-based knowledge capture for individuals and organizations.

Laboratory note detail page in FlaskTrack
A note can combine narrative context, linked records, data, files, and controlled sharing.

Create a note

Use a descriptive title, identify the intended audience, and write content that can be understood without relying on private context. Attach supporting files when needed.

Notes can support observations, troubleshooting, meeting summaries, planning, draft procedures, and operational knowledge.

Personal and organization notes

Personal notes are intended for the author’s workspace. Organization notes are shared according to role and organization access. Confirm the selected visibility before adding sensitive content.

AI knowledge use

When enabled, selected notes may be added to an organization knowledge base used by AI features. Only include current, approved, and appropriate information. Remove superseded notes from AI context.

Controlled content

A note is not automatically a controlled protocol, policy, validation record, or approval. Move formal instructions and evidence into the appropriate FlaskTrack entity and review workflow.

Good practice

  • Add dates and owners to time-sensitive notes.
  • Link or name the related batch, sample, protocol, or issue.
  • Separate facts from hypotheses.
  • Do not store passwords, API keys, or provider secrets.
  • Archive or update obsolete content.
