There are several scenarios when you may need to tag your defect data with a note and/or an event:
You want to document corrective action that was taken after finding defects, or to document special conditions in your process that may have caused the defects.
In this case, you can click the Note button to display the Note and Event screen.
GainSeeker may have been configured to display the Note and Event screen automatically in certain cases, such as to alert the user when the defect level goes above certain limits.
If GainSeeker has been configured with a pre-defined list of events or special causes, you can click the Event list and select the most appropriate item.
You can also click in the Note box and type a short description of what caused the defects or corrective action taken.
To start a new paragraph, press SHIFT+ENTER or CTRL+ENTER.
To create a clickable hyperlink to a web address or to a file, enter http:address or file:address .
After you save this note, anyone who edits views the note will be able to click the hyperlink at the bottom of the note, similar to the following example:
Both keywords (http: and file:) work the same way, although it is most typical to use http: when linking to a web address and file: when linking to a file on your network.
Also:
The
first space or end-of-line character that is found after the http:
or file:
keyword is considered to be the end of the
address
.
If there is a space in the address
(e.g., in the name of a file or folder), you must put quotation marks
around the address
.
Do not put a space between http: and the address
or between file:
and the address.
Valid links can be formatted like the following examples:
Most typical: |
but this also works: |
http://www.google.com |
file://www.google.com |
http:www.google.com |
file:www.google.com |
http:https://mail.google.com |
file:https://mail.google.com |
file:F:\Quality\pix\dhc41223.jpg |
http:F:\Quality\pix\dhc41223.jpg |
file:"L:\QA pix\sample 3102.gif" |
http:"L:\QA pix\sample 3102.gif" |

If you
enter more than one file:
reference in a note, that note will create a clickable hyperlink
for the first two file:
references found.
If you enter more than one http: reference in
a note, that note will create a clickable hyperlink for only the first http:
reference found.
You can include both file:
references and an http: reference in
the same note.
If more than one of these references is found in a note, the note will
display a single hyperlink that will open all of the referenced items
when clicked.
When you reference a file or web address, GainSeeker uses the program that Windows associates with that file type to determine which program to use when opening the file.
If you need to delete the text of the Note and start over, click Clear.
To exit the Note and Event screen without saving changes, click Cancel.
To accept the Event and Note you have entered, click OK.
In most cases, you can then proceed to Reviewing the data.
