Re-use of notes on different pages

Notes pinned to 'page text' may apply to multiple pages within the same application. This article shows how to manage and display them.

To ensure notes appear only where they are relevant, they are internally linked to the visited URL.


Some applications use variable components within their URLs. For example, a CRM system might use a URL structure that includes a unique identifier to display information for a specific contact person.

https://crm4.dynamics.com/main.aspx?appid=xxx&pagetype=entityrecord&etn=contact&id=ae7fbbb6-ffae-ea11-a812-000d3a8b3ec6

To make notes saved on one contact person visible across other contact profiles, a regular expression (regex) can be used by adding wildcard characters.


In the example above, this can be achieved by replacing the unique ID (in bold) with .*, allowing the note to match multiple URLs that follow the same pattern.

https://crm4.dynamics.com/main.aspx?appid=xxx&pagetype=entityrecord&etn=contact&id=.*

  1. Adding Regex expressions is done via the Edit modus of a note

  2. Via 'Show advanced setting', the URL Regex option appears.

Once this is done, the note will also appear on other accounts.
