# Shift Notes
Learn about taking Notes within a Shift
## How do I record a Shift Note(s)?
To begin recording Shift Note(s), simply open a Shift and then click the `Notes` button at the bottom of the screen to bring up the dialogue box.
Once selected, you can create a new note by selecting the `+` button in the top right corner of the screen, as shown below.
Once a new Note has been created, you will be prompted to populate a number of customisable fields.
{% hint style="info" %}
In order to open and close the text input box, select the arrow on the far right hand side of the screen, as shown below.
{% endhint %}
This will open up the text input box for custom Note(s). Here, you can also add a Note Template, by clicking the button shown below.
Click the `Blue Tick` in the upper corner to save your letter after you have filled in the required fields and entered your Note.
## Participant Note Actions
Once you have created your Note(s), additional actions will become available. These actions are detailed below.
### 1. Attach Files
To begin attaching a file, simply click the `Files` button at the top right corner of the Note to bring up the dialogue box. Once selected, you can attach files to the Note. This includes the ability to take a photo, attach a PDF file, or upload any other allowed file type. On a mobile device, this will also feature the option to take a photo while uploading the file.
### 2. Manage Tasks
To begin managing tasks for your Note(s), simply click the `Manage Tasks` button at the top right corner of the Participant Note to bring up the dialogue box. Once selected, you can create a new task by selecting the `+` button in the top right corner of the screen.
Once a new Participant Note Task has been created, you will be prompted to populate a number of customisable fields, including assigning your task to the required personnel.

You can assign a task to any other **Maica** user within your organisation.
{% endhint %}
Similar to recording a new [Participant Note](#how-do-i-record-a-participant-note-s), you can open the text input box by clicking the arrow on the far right hand side of the screen, as shown below.
