Manuscript Notes Field and Flag

Users with Editor or Publisher roles may see a Manuscript Notes field on a submission's Details page. Users with permission can edit the field.

Users may also have permission to set a flag to call attention to an entry in this Manuscript Notes field. When the flag is set, a flag icon appears next to the Details link in the Action column on all Editor and Publisher pages where the link appears. The flag icon is displayed to all users with permission to view the Manuscript Notes (even if they do not have permissions to set the flag). The icon is displayed until a user unchecks the box on the Details page.

To enter or edit a note:

Click your cursor into the Manuscript Notes text field.
Type or edit text as needed.
To set the flag, check the box next to the setting, Display Manuscript Notes Flag.
Click the Save (or Save and Close) button.
