Admin Notepad Editor (Monospaced Text)

This program lets you view and maintain text narrations for key fields (e.g. jobs, stock codes, structures, operations, etc.) within SYSPRO.

Unlike the Admin Notepad Editor (Rich Text) program (which has no restriction on the number of lines of text you can enter) there are limitations when using the Admin Notepad Editor (Monospaced Text) program to write comments and notes.
