Notes Component

The Notes Component lets you add a short note or label to your workflow. You can type a label and choose a color, then the component will output the note text so you can use it elsewhere in your dashboard.

How it Works

When you drop the Notes Component into your flow, you enter a label (the text of the note) and pick a color. The component doesn’t perform any calculations or call external services; it simply holds the information you provide. When the workflow runs, the component returns the note text as a plain text output that other components can read.

Inputs

• label: The text you want to display or store as a note.
• color: A color code or name that can be used to style the note in the UI.

Outputs

• Data (Text): The component outputs the note text you entered. This output can be connected to other components that need to display or process the note.

Usage Example

1. Drag the Notes Component onto the canvas.
2. In the label field, type “Project kickoff” (or any note you want).
3. Choose a color, e.g., “#FF5733”.
4. Connect the Data output to a Display Text component to show the note on the dashboard, or to a Log component to record it.

The note will appear in the chosen color wherever you use the Data output.

Related Components

• Display Text – Shows text on the dashboard.
• Log – Records text to a log file or console.
• Color Picker – Helps you choose colors for UI elements.

Tips and Best Practices

• Keep the note short; it’s meant for quick reminders or labels.
• Use consistent color codes across components to maintain a cohesive look.
• If you need the note to trigger actions, combine it with a Trigger component that watches for changes in the Data output.

Security Considerations

The component only stores plain text locally; no external data is sent or received. Ensure that any sensitive information you input is handled according to your organization’s data‑handling policies.
