For the notes in a STEM model to be useful, they must be conspicuous and easy to find. When you are looking at a particular data dialog, you can see immediately that there is a corresponding note if the
button is ‘filled in’ 
.
If you want to see if any notes have been made on the inputs for a particular model element:
- Double-click or right-click on an icon corresponding to the element (or press <Enter>) to show the icon menu.
- Select Notes to show a cascaded menu, listing the fields which have associated notes. (If there aren’t any notes, this menu item will be greyed.)
- Select a particular field from this cascaded menu to access the corresponding note dialog.
- Select Data from the note dialog menu to access the original data dialog, to which this note is attached.
There is a similar cascaded menu, listing all the notes in an entire model:
-
double-click or right-click on the background of a view and select Notes, or
- select Notes from the main Data menu.

If you want to search for specific text across all notes in your model, you can do so using the Find function – see 4.21.1 Finding elements, text and values.
