Notes
Notes are great ways to add reminders or events.
Notes are stored as journal entries in their own folder in the journal directory. By default, this folder is hidden from view but a GM can enable it to be visible if they wish.
Important: Only notes in this folder will be read by Simple Calendar! If notes are moved from this folder they will not appear in the module.
Viewing Notes

To view the list of notes simply click on the Note Buttons in the Action Buttons bar next to the calendar to open the note list.
