You can send notes to the lab, and they can send notes over to you. Additionally, both parties can attach files to the job - such as 3D scans, photos and other documents.

 

 

Generally, notes and attachments created by you (or the other users at your location) will be aligned to the LEFT.

Notes and attachments created by the other party will be aligned to the RIGHT.



In the following screenshot, as the practice, our notes and attachments are aligned to the left, with the lab's notes aligned to the right.






Note that you can Open, Add New or Delete general notes and attachments by right-clicking on the item and choosing the appropriate action from the pop-up menu.
