Notes Channel

The Notes channel provides a way for you to post messages to other Sun Java System Portal Desktop users. As long as another person is logged into the same server, they can see your message. If the Notes application does not appear on your Desktop, choose Content from the menu, then select Notes by using the checkbox, and choose Finished.

Only authorized users can post messages to the Notes channel. If the Edit button is not visible in the Notes channel toolbar, authorization to post messages has not been granted.

To Post a Note

  1. From the Notes channel, choose Edit.
  2. The Edit Notes page is displayed.

  3. Enter your message in the New Message textbox.
  4. The content in the message field can be any valid HTML character except a semi-colon ( ; ) as it is used as a field separator.

  5. Choose Finished to post your note.
  6. You are returned to Desktop, and your message appears in Notes.

  7. To check for new messages, Choose the Home link in the Desktop menu.

  8. Note

    Do not choose the Refresh button on your browser when using Notes, as this will cause your message to be posted again.


Contact your system administrator to delete messages.
